パキスタンのエネルギー政策は過去30年、炭素集約的な大規模発電を優先し、炭素ロックインを招いてきた。本研究は分配的政治理論を用い、政策文書やメディアの質的分析から、短期的な危機対応と利益団体の影響がこの経路を強化したと論じる。太陽光の急拡大はボトムアップの対応と位置づけ、政策近視の政治的要因を概念化する。
English
This study analyzes Pakistan's energy policy over three decades, showing how short-term crisis-driven decisions and interest group politics have reinforced carbon lock-in. Using qualitative content analysis, it argues that policy myopia, embedded in political and institutional dynamics, has favored carbon-intensive power plants over structural reforms. The recent solar expansion is framed as a bottom-up response to state inertia, contributing to debates on carbon lock-in in the Global South.

日本のGX文脈において
日本のエネルギー政策はパキスタンと状況が異なるが、政策近視や既得権益によるロックインのメカニズムは、日本の石炭火力や原子力政策の課題を考える上で示唆に富む。特に、長期的な脱炭素目標と短期的な政策判断の乖離を分析する枠組みは、日本のGX政策の評価にも応用可能。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global scholarship on carbon lock-in and climate politics, particularly for developing countries. It offers a framework for understanding how political and institutional incentives can impede energy transitions, relevant for policymakers and researchers studying governance barriers to decarbonization. The case of Pakistan provides insights into the dynamics of fossil fuel dependence and the role of distributed renewables as a response.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a conceptual framework linking policy myopia and interest group politics to carbon lock-in, useful for comparative energy governance research.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need to align political and institutional incentives with long-term energy transition goals to avoid carbon lock-in.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Over the past three decades, Pakistan's energy policy has largely prioritized carbon-intensive, utility-scale power plants through private sector investment, contributing to persistent carbon lock-in. What has led to this carbon-intensive pathway in the country's energy governance? We argue that this lock-in was initially driven by policy myopia manifested in short-term, crisis-driven decision-making, and further reinforced by interest group politics and institutional dynamics. Drawing on theories of distributive climate politics, we conducted qualitative content analysis of policy documents, regulatory reports, media sources, and academic literature to trace power dynamics and policy choices in Pakistan's energy sector since the 1990s. Our findings reveal that successive governments adopted short-term strategies favoring quick fixes over structural reforms, while interest group influence and institutional constraints reinforced a carbon-intensive pathway rather than enabling a sustainable energy transition. The recent rapid expansion of distributed solar energy systems reflects bottom-up responses to this state-led inertia in energy governance. By conceptualizing policy myopia as a politically embedded causal mechanism, the study contributes to debates on carbon lock-in and climate politics in the Global South and underscores the need to realign political and institutional incentives with long-term energy transition goals.
