Security in the contemporary context is a contested concept. The
conventional notions of security today stand juxtaposed with
non-military, comprehensive security studies including challenges
like social security, economic security, environmental security,
food security and "Energy Security." For a developing country like
India, the geo-strategic location, regional equations, level of
advancement and perceived notions of national interest, all impinge
on security considerations. The trajectory of India's rapid
economic growth is linked to the struggle to ensure energy
security. The core problem is that India possesses only about 0.5%
of the world's proven reserves of oil and 0.4% of the world's
proven gas reserves, and hence is dependent on importing the same.
The challenge therefore, is to ensure that this dependence on
external supplies does not become vulnerability, increasingly
because over 70% of these imports are from West Asia. The book
therefore tries to unravel the entire Indian energy security
quagmire in the backdrop of West Asian geo-politics and internal
dynamics.
