As energy has become one of the crucial factors in ensuring the
economic growth and the sustainable development of people, nations,
societies and, ultimately, human civilisation in the 21st century
global scenario, there is a pressing need for treating energy as a
strategic commodity and for analysing national, regional and global
strategies concerning energy. This is an attempt to debate and
discuss various facets -- economic, technological and political --
of such strategies, and at the same time, to encompass concepts,
like energy security and energy diplomacy, that form significant
components of such strategies. Strategising of energy is an issue
that is inextricably linked with the domestic and foreign policies
of a nation or a region, and it is characteristically futuristic,
as strategies are supposed to be made with a long-term perspective.
Contemporary Asian realities serve as the perspective of such an
analysis for several reasons. Asia is the home of two fast growing
and energy-thirsty countries like China and India, as well as Japan
and the ASEAN countries. There are at least three energy-producing
regions in Asia that are crucial for global energy security, like
West Asia, the traditional one, two upcoming regions of Central
Asia and the area around South China Sea. The Indian Ocean is one
of the most important energy transit routes for international
energy transport. Even the smallest disruption in the production
and transport-chain of energy within Asia has the potential of
upsetting the global energy balance. This volume attempts to focus
on a number of significant issues concerning the theme of
strategising of energy. Contributors analyse, debate and discuss
the questions from different viewpoints and different angles. Thus,
this volume represents a wide spectrum of views-from a scientist's
vision of a world with cleaner energy, to the strategist's comments
on solutions to national energy issues; from journalists' views on
the development of governmental policies on energy, to
academicians' analyses of regional energy strategies; and from
historians' analyses of the restructuring of the national energy
infrastructure and the re-prioritising of national energy
strategies, to debates on national, regional as well as maritime
energy strategies by specialists on international relations.
