Author Description

"Asia is one of the most dynamic regions in the world, experiencing record economic growth and contributing significantly to global economic development. However, this economic growth also translates into greater energy demand and increases the need to secure stable supplies of energy resources There are growing concerns on whether the quest for energy security by Asian states would lead to political, economic and social instability in Asia, with wider international repercussions. This publication is an attempt to examine the impact of Asia's growing energy demand and the resulting security implications"--Preface.
