Book Launch: Energy and Security in Asia and Eurasia

Some analysts see the rapidly increasing demand for energy and competition for energy resources leading to nationalist energy policies. Others argue that global trends with efficient energy markets and growing options on renewables suggest more relaxed energy outlooks. This book takes up the energy debates in Asian rising powers and considers a key question: Are energy policies evolving along market oriented cooperative lines or more competitive, even nationalist lines? Is a "cult of energy insecurity" taking hold or not?

This book takes up the energy debates in Asian rising powers and considers a key question: Are energy policies evolving along market oriented cooperative lines or more competitive, even nationalist lines? Is a "cult of energy insecurity" taking hold or not? What are the different security implications for the region and beyond?
