Sumario:"Energy security has become a central concern for all the countries in the Asian region and the search for sufficient sources of energy to fuel economic growth has drastically influenced relations among the South Asian countries as well as their respective relations with their neighbours China, Myanmar, Iran, and Afghanistan. The recent nuclear deal between India and the US is also indicative of how energy and power politics are linked and how these new inter-linkages underlie relations between states. This book aims to give a South Asian perspective on the geopolitics of energy, with a central focus on India. The chapters show India's global and regional foreign policy ... in light of India's search for energy and how this is affecting the relationship on a global level between India and the US, as well as on a regional level between India and the other Asian countries. The book also offers views from Pakistan and Bangladesh, as well as how this shifting reality is affecting relations between India and Southeast Asia."--Provided by publisher.
Notas:" ... resulted of the conference, 'Geopolitics of Energy in South Asia', organized by the institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS) and supported by the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS), which was held in Singapore on 14 August 2007"--Introduction.
