| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Central Asia has emerged as an important source of energy and strategic arena for the major powers of U.S., Russia and China where energy diplomacy has forged a major thrust in their foreign policy. Energy diplomacy in Central Asia is defined by the competition among various stakeholders and the mediation by the state in making the deal. Moreover, the energy diplomacy shares two common assumptions i.e. actors and factors. So, in the game of energy diplomacy in Central Asia, there are so many global and regional players involved out of which India is one of them. But in this game, how India has sought to strengthen its position with the involvement of major powers for accessing huge amount of energy resources from the region is lucidly explicated. Nevertheless, the article promptly attempts to draw a picture on India’s approach in Central Asian energy diplomacy. |
