Organizational Behavior and Institutional Change:The Three Logics of EU Energy Governance
Energy security is the core goal of regional energy governance.By analyzing the institutional change of EU energy governance,this article puts forward three kinds of matc-hing types of energy governance environment and institutional change,namely the security environment and the logic of survival,the technical environment and the logic of conse-quence,and the institutional environment and the logic of appropriateness.These three log-ics respectively correspond to the energy security goals of stable supply,cost-effective price,and ecological and environmental friendliness,reflecting different institutional char-acteristics of regional energy governance.The dominant logic of EU energy governance is different in the three stages of its institutional change.Under the influence of the technical environment,the institutional change of EU energy governance was dominated by the logic of consequences,which strengthened unified actions at the political,economic,and diplo-matic levels,aiming at achieving energy security goals in an efficient and low-cost way.As the security environment and the technical environment gradually stabilized,significant changes in the institutional environment created conditions for the logic of appropriateness to exert its influence.Then,energy transition and response to climate change were established as the core of the regional energy governance institutions.The outbreak of the Ukraine crisis in 2022 significantly affected the EU's perception of energy security.In the short term,the logic of survival dominates the institutional change of EU energy governance;eliminating the energy dependence on Russia has become the EU's passive response to the shock to its security environment.In the long run,the institutional environment of the global response to climate change and sustainable development remains unchanged.The logic of appropri-ateness will still profoundly affect the institutional change of EU energy governance.
