Across the world states are seeking out new and secure supplies of
energy but this search is manifesting itself most visibly in Asia
where rapid industrialisation in states such as China and India is
fomenting a frantic scramble for energy resources. Due to
entrenched societal inequities and widespread authoritarian
governance, however, the pursuit of national energy security
through transnational energy projects has resulted in devastating
impacts on the human and environmental security of local
populations. These effects are particularly evident in both
Thailand and Myanmar (Burma), which, located at the crossroads of
Asia, are increasingly engaged in the cross-border energy trade.
Based on extensive fieldwork and theoretical analysis this
ground-breaking book proposes a new critical approach to energy and
environmental security and explores the important role that both
local and transnational environmental movements are playing, in the
absence of effective and democratic governments, in providing
'activist environmental governance' for energy projects throughout
the region. By comparing the nature of this activism under two very
different political regimes it delivers crucial theoretical
insights with both academic and policy implications for the
sustainable and equitable development of the South's natural
resources.
