Anna J. Davidson

OIES-Aramco Fellow

Anna J. Davidson is a DPhil Candidate in Area Studies at the University of Oxford and a defence and energy strategy consultant.

Her research interests are in international identity and civil nuclear energy cooperation with an area expertise on Russia and the CIS region. At OIES, Anna’s project entitled, “The Role of Nuclear Energy in the Global Energy Transition,” seeks to render a comprehensive narrative that will serve as the platform upon which to approach further enquiries and research into the dynamics of nuclear energy relations, cooperation, development, research, and innovation in the global energy transition.

Anna holds a master’s degree with thesis distinction in Russian and East European Studies from the University of Oxford. She graduated summa cum laude with an undergraduate degree in International Affairs and Russian from the University of Georgia, USA, with study as an Associate Member of Oxford University’s Keble College.

Solar and wind power have been the main beneficiaries in the power sector, but it is becoming clear that if climate goals are to be met by 2050 then other forms of low or zero emission electricity generation must be prioritised. This has led to something of a renaissance for the nuclear industry, the development of which has been rather stagnant since the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011.

This OIES paper explores the key motivations for the development of nuclear energy in the current global energy economy. It considers climate change as a key driver, but also discusses energy security and foreign relationships as other important motivating forces.  It also outlines the different drivers for countries exporting nuclear technology and those importing it to generate domestic electricity, and provides important detail on the current reactors under construction, the providers of key technologies and the methodologies which various exporters use to gain a competitive position in the nuclear market place.

    The Role of Nuclear Energy in the Global Energy Transition

    The scarcity of scholarship on civil nuclear energy as an area of global society, and the specific analysis of wherein nuclear energy positions itself in the global energy transition, represents a gap in energy studies. In the context of the global energy transition, nuclear energy is a core component in the international response to climate […]
