The International Energy Agency (IEA) is comprised of 30 member nations whose purpose is to ensure that there is stable, cost-efficient and clean energy available for its members. It focuses on energy security, economic development, environmental awareness and engagement on a global scale.
Over the years, it has proven itself to be the hub for energy cooperation between nations due to its dealings in energy supply security, long-term policy, transparency of the information acquired, environmental changes due to energy dispersal, and energy research and development. The IEA has evolved to be able to provide data and analysis concerning many energy-related issues.
The IEA functions independently within the framework of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and its legislative body comprises mainly of energy ministers or representatives from each member nation. Its meeting schedules are decided at committee levels with a number of committees meeting more than twice a year. In terms of financing, the IEA receives one-third of its funding from voluntary contributions from its member nations.

- The International Energy Agency: state influence and transgovernmental politics, Keohane, R. O. (1978), 32 (4), 929-951. This paper gives insight into major decisions of the International Energy Agency (IEA), such as those that established the emergency management system or minimum selling price for imported oil, have been made through a process of interstate bargaining, in which the United States is the most influential actor.
- International Energy Agency PVPS Task 2: Analysis of the operational performance of the IEA Database PV systems, Jahn, U., Mayer, D., Heidenreich, M., Dahl, R., Castello, S., Clavadetscher, L., & Sugiura, T. (2000, May). In the 16th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, Glasgow, United Kingdom (p. 5). As a part of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS), the participants of Task 2 are required to collate and analyze operational data of photovoltaic plants in various system techniques located world-wide.
- The International Energy Agency after 35 years: Reform needs and institutional adaptability, Van de Graaf, T., & Lesage, D. (2009). The Review of International Organizations, 4 (3), 293-317. This article intends to shed a bit of light into the cryptic processes of institutional changes in international organizations seeing as very little is known concerning the process despite mounting scholarly interests.
- Future oil supply: The changing stance of the International Energy Agency, Miller, R. G. (2011). 39 (3), 1569-1574. With the mandate of the IEA being to promote energy security amongst its member nations, this article hopes to analyze the recent forecast that seems to hint at a wavering of the IEA from its mandate.
