ガーナを事例に、化石燃料採掘の拡大と野心的なエネルギー転換政策が同時進行する逆説を分析。インタビューや政策分析を通じ、転換が脱炭素の技術過程ではなく、石油国家を再構成する道徳的・政治的プロジェクトであると論じる。「表演的ガバナンス」と「統合的國家」の概念を提示し、転換枠組みが採掘継続に新たな正当性を与えることを示す。
English
Using Ghana as a case study, this article examines why a new oil producer simultaneously pursues fossil-fuel extraction and ambitious energy transition agendas. Drawing on interviews, ethnography, and policy analysis (2023-2025), it argues that transition is a moral and political project reconstituting the petro-state, developing concepts of performative governance and the integrative state. Transition frameworks often generate new legitimacy for continued extraction rather than displacing it.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX文脈とは直接の接点は薄いが、資源国における『転換と採掘の共存』という視点は、日本の資源外交・エネルギー安全保障やトランジション・ファイナンスの正当性議論に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper challenges the binary framing of decarbonisation versus extraction that underpins much global transition finance and climate governance discourse. It offers Global South political ecology perspectives relevant to debates on just transition, sovereign legitimacy, and how disclosure frameworks may inadvertently legitimise continued fossil-fuel development.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This article examines the coexistence of expanding fossil-fuel extraction and ambitious energy transition initiatives in Africa through a case study of Ghana. Against narratives that cast decarbonisation and extraction as mutually exclusive trajectories, it explores how climate commitments and hydrocarbon development are increasingly pursued simultaneously. The article addresses a central puzzle: why would a country that has only recently become an oil producer embrace energy transition agendas that appear to challenge a resource widely regarded as a pathway to development? Drawing on interviews, archival ethnography, policy analysis, and stakeholder workshops conducted between 2023 and 2025, I argue that energy transition is not simply a technical process of decarbonisation but a moral and political project through which the contemporary petro-state is being reconstituted. Developing the concepts of performative governance and the integrative state, the article shows how transition frameworks, stakeholder consultations, and climate commitments function as practices of legitimacy-making through which state actors reconcile competing claims concerning development, energy justice, national sovereignty, and climate responsibility. Rather than displacing extraction, energy transition frequently generates new forms of legitimacy for its continuation, embedding fossil fuels within broader narratives of national progress and future-making. By foregrounding the moral foundations of state authority, the article contributes to debates on energy transition, climate governance, political ecology, and the transformation of petro-statehood in the Global South.
