Abstract

In 2013, China put forward the "Belt and Road" Initiative. In order to explore the development status and trend of international energy cooperation research at home and abroad, this paper selects SCI, SSCI database of WOS and CNKI core database, takes international energy cooperation papers published from 2014 to 2024 as research objects, and analyzes the distribution and cooperation of authors, institutions and keywords in recent 10 years. This paper systematically summarizes the research themes and development trends of international energy cooperation at home and abroad through keyword clustering and emergence. It provides a more comprehensive perspective for China's follow-up research on international energy cooperation, helps China to conduct forward-looking research on international energy cooperation, improves China's response ability in international energy cooperation, and ensures the smooth development of China's international energy cooperation strategy.
