中俄天然气合作是国际能源领域的重大事件，交易成本理论为研究这一合作行为提供了极好的视角。缔约成本中的议题领域敏感性、国家间同质性和透明度，以及治理成本中的资产专用性、不确定性和交易频率是导致中俄天然气合作进展缓慢的主要原因。2008年全球金融危机爆发后，中俄两国基于自身的紧迫需求，克服了交易成本的影响，签署了东线天然气合作协议。当前，由于俄罗斯外交战略转型，中俄天然气合作潜力巨大，前景广阔，交易成本将会降低。%Natural gas cooperation between China and Russia is an important event in international energy field. Transaction costs theory provides an excellent perspective to study this cooperative behavior. Contrac⁃ting costs, including sensitivity of issue area, interstate homogeneity and transparency, and governance costs, including asset specificity, uncertainties and the frequency of transactions, have been the main fac⁃tors hindering the formal signing of agreements for Sino-Russian natural gas cooperation over a long period of time. After the global financial crisis in 2008, China and Russia had overcome the impact of transaction costs and signed the agreement for natural gas cooperation based on their own urgent needs. Currently, as Russia�s diplomatic strategy is in transition, there is a great potential and broad prospects in Sino-Russian natural gas cooperation. Consequently, transaction costs will be reduced.
