Download or read book Rethinking Energy Security in Asia A Non Traditional View of Human Security written by Mely Caballero-Anthony and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 was released on 2008 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few years, energy security and sustainable development have moved up the global agenda. There are two main reasons for this: first, the impact of high and often volatile energy prices; second, concerns over environmental sustainability and particularly about the global climate. Both issues are critically important for Asia and the Pacifica region in which impressive economic growth has boosted the demand for energy and put corresponding strains on the environment. The publication gives a detailed overview on available energy resources, supply and demand, financing, policy and cooperation in the regions. It also describes energy situation in least developed countries, landlocked and small island developing countries, and suggests policy options for energy security and sustainable development.
