Title ProperIndia’s energy security challenges
LanguageENG
AuthorAhmed, Talmiz
Summary / Abstract (Note)The changing geopolitics of energy in favour of Asian countries, the crucial dependence of the latter on West Asia for their energy security, and the interest of the USA in sharing the responsibility for regional security, these developments have thrown up new opportunities for Asian countries to pursue shared interests that would bring the USA, other Western powers, and the principal Asian powersChina, Japan, Korea and Indiain a new cooperative paradigm structured around the GCC countries, Iran and Iraq.
The challenges in realizing this strategic paradigm would require the principal regional players to give up their present postures of confrontation and hostility, and engage with erstwhile rivals on the same platform for dialogue, the establishment of confidence building measures, and the addressing of issues that divide them in a free and frank environment.
Before this happens, the four principal Asian countries would themselves have to develop the habit of dialogue as well as the development of consensus amongst themselvesa daunting task in itself since Asian countries have little experience of strategic dialogue with each other on Asian issues.
