This multidisciplinary volume articulates the current and potential
public policy discourse between energy security and climate change
in the Asia- Pacific region, and the efforts taken to address
global warming. This volume is unique as it analyses two important
issues climate change and energy security through the lens of
geopolitics at the intersection of energy security. It elaborates
on the current and potential steps taken by state and non- state
actors, as well as the policy innovations and diplomatic efforts
(bilateral and multilateral, including regional) that states are
pursuing. This Brief stems from the assumption that its audience is
aware of the consequences of climate change, and will therefore,
only look at the issues identified. It provides a useful read and
reference for a wide- range of scholars, policy makers, researchers
and post- graduate students.
Traditional notions of security are premised on the primacy of
state security. In relation to energy security, traditional policy
thinking has focused on ensuring supply without much emphasis on
socioeconomic and environmental impacts. Non-traditional security
(NTS) scholars argue that threats to human security have become
increasingly prominent since the end of the Cold War, and that it
is thus critical to adopt a holistic and multidisciplinary approach
in addressing rising energy needs. This volume represents the
perspectives of scholars from across Asia, looking at diverse
aspects of energy security through a non-traditional security lens.
The issues covered include environmental and socioeconomic impacts,
the role of the market, the role of civil society, energy
sustainability and policy trends in the ASEAN region.

This book aims to introduce and discuss the policy issues and
challenges surrounding the development of nuclear power energy in
Southeast Asia (SEA). Nuclear energy is poised for substantial
growth in a region that is in need of more sustainable and clean
energy source against the background of rising energy demand and an
increasingly narrower power supply and demand gap. However, there
are many safety and security risks associated with nuclear power
especially so for a region that remains vulnerable to political
risks and military conflicts. This book will, therefore, discuss
those policy issues and challenges and offers unique insights from
the practitioners, industry experts, academics, and policymakers on
how the SEA governments could mitigate those risks through good
governance.
