本論文は、エネルギー移行に伴う地政学的再編を「エレクトロステート」という概念で分析する。エレクトロステートは石油国家からの完全な断絶ではなく、既存の rentier 論理の再配分と継続を内包する漸進的プロセスであると論じる。
English
This paper analyzes the geopolitical reconfigurations of the energy transition through the concept of the 'electrostate'. It argues that electrostate formation is not a clean break from petrostates but an emergent process that reallocates rents and maintains extractivist logics under new conditions.

日本のGX文脈において
日本でもエネルギー安全保障と脱炭素政策の両立が課題となる中、国家的 rents 構造の再編を理論化する本稿は、日本のエネルギー政策の長期的な地政学的含意を考察する上で示唆に富む。
In the global GX context
As the global energy transition reshapes geopolitical power, this paper provides a critical framework to understand the continuity of rentier logics, relevant for policymakers navigating the geopolitics of decarbonization and electrification.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:This paper offers a theoretical lens for studying the political economy of energy transitions and state transformation.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers should consider that electrification may not fully disrupt existing geopolitical dependencies but rather reconfigure them.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Geopolitical reconfigurations unfolding as part of an embryonic ‘global’ energy transition are increasingly framed as a struggle between entrenched fossil fuel incumbents and a rapidly emerging techno-political formation: the electrostate. Yet what constitutes an electrostate, and how - if at all - it differs in institutional, political, and geopolitical terms from a petrostate or other state formations, remains under-specified and under-explored. We argue that electrostate formation is best understood not as a clean break from fossil-fuelled political economies, but as an emergent process of institutional and geopolitical reconfiguration marked by continuity as much as change. Rents are redistributed rather than abolished, incumbency is rearticulated rather than permanently disrupted, and new geopolitical dependencies are forged through decarbonisation and electrification rather than transcended altogether. In doing so, we caution against the increasingly popular petrostate-electrostate dichotomy, which risks obscuring the complex and multidimensional ways in which states are both shaping, and being reshaped by, energy transitions. By examining changes both within the state and beyond the state, we explore whether electrification implies a decisive re-ordering of state–capital relations or whether it instead reallocates rents, reshapes coalitions, and reworks dependencies in ways that maintain extractivist and rentier logics, but under new conditions.
