Summary/Abstract |
China's rapid economic growth has led to a huge increase in oil imports. This has raised great concern regarding its energy security because China depends on a single chokepoint, the Strait of Malacca, with nearly three-quarters of its oil imports flowing through the Strait. Given its strategic importance to China and China's little sway on the waterway, this viewpoint focuses mainly on China's concerns about and efforts at both demand and supply sides towards energy security, in particular regarding the Malacca dilemma, and puts potential Arctic oil and gas into that context.

Summary/Abstract |
Indo-Pacific region is not simply a geographical entity but a social construction characterised by intense engagement, shared institutional frameworks and cultural commonalities. The maritime geography has replaced the Atlantic as the nerve centre of economic, political, security and diplomatic interactions without transposing US preeminence ensuring a regional identity for India. Discharging responsibilities as a regional power is difficult for India in view of rising competition and protectionist policies of several affluent economies. Even so India has contrived to brace the challenges since the last decade which it needs to sustain for its triumphal entry into the emerging Asian Century.

Summary/Abstract |
The purpose of this article is to examine the prospect of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) from the perspective of Bangladesh. The article investigates fundamental aspects of China’s economic involvement in Bangladesh to understand the geo-economic basis of the initiative. In this respect, the objective and motivation behind Chinese involvement in Bangladesh’s economy are studied, and the political and economic challenges emanating from the participation of the latter country in the initiative are outlined. Methodologically, this research adopts a qualitative approach and relies on primary sources to collect data. It concludes with an observation that Chinese investments through BRI could, in the long term, be advantageous for Bangladesh’s economy as long as the regional and economic issues associated with the initiative are appropriately dealt with. Besides, it suggests that the success of the initiative in South Asia, as well as in Bangladesh, requires a collaborative effort from all the states of the region on functional issue areas such as trade and connectivity.
