Summary/Abstract |
Energy is the basic necessity for all living beings to survive on planet
earth, and no one knows this better than human beings. We also
know that energy reserves in the world are not infinite. The data on
the quantum of energy reserves in different parts of the world, based
on scientific research, and other reliable methods is, in one way, one
of the factors, which can influence the concern of any nation on the
availability of this resource, which is so crucial for the sound economic
growth, and development of human beings. Those who possess
this wealth in abundance as of now may not be concerned about its
availability, but those who do not have in abundance, or who have
very limited energy resources, or have sufficient resources but not
enough to fuel the fast pace of growth and economic development and
are hungry for more, are now more concerned about the affordability
and security of energy reserves both within their own country as well
as in nations which are the producers of this vital resource.

Summary/Abstract |
Although the 19
th
century "gunboat" and "parade ground" diplomacy
is of historical interest, a convenient starting point can be 1964, when
the British Secretary of State for Defence, Denis Healey, formulated
the first cohesive defence diplomacy policy. With the withdrawal
from East of Suez, Healey hoped to fill the void and maintain British
influence by a low cost policy playing to perceived British strengths
of military prowess and technological capability. Small training
missions, defence attaches and sales of military hardware were the
three main components of the plan, backed up by occasional military
deployments, high level visits, and the opening up of the domestic
defence establishments to allied military personnel.
