| Summary/Abstract |
The energy sector is an integral part of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). The AEC aims to transform ASEAN into a stable, secure, prosperous, rules-based, competitive, resilient, and integrated economic community by 2015.[①] The ASEAN Vision 2020[②] envisions a clean and green ASEAN with fully established mechanisms for sustainable development to ensure the protection of the environment, the sustainability of its natural resources, and a high quality of life for its people. Such a vision was incarnated at the Bali Summit in October 2003 as the AEC by 2020.[③] The adoption of the AEC Blueprint by the ASEAN Heads of State/Government in November 2007 expedited the implementation of the AEC to 2015.Energy is closely related to three of the four pillar under the AEC: energy commodities are products that will be freely moved in the “single market and production base” (pillar 1); a competitive energy sector is an indispensable part of “the competitive ASEAN” (pillar 2); and access to electricity is a key towards “equitable economic development” (pillar 3).[④]

| Summary/Abstract |
It has been more than six month of Modi’s government where his energy policies are already being tested both in terms of foreign policy dimension with increased energy engagements with the outside world as well as with his domestic energy policies, which were often criticised as ineffective during the previous regimes, despite some opportunities which came through, but was lost due to domestic bureaucratic and political hurdles. This is particularly with respect to Indo-US Nuclear Deal grabbed during United Progressive Alliance (UPA) I. This deal is yet to see a light of a day.

| Summary/Abstract |
Energy is more than an ordinary commodity ─ it has always acquired political attributes. Access to energy resources is an important factor for the political and economic development of a country. It not only lays a solid material foundation for the economic development of a country, but also helps to increase its comprehensive national strength and enables the country to pursue an independent foreign policy and to have extensive influence in international politics. Global energy security is crucial to economic growth and people’s livelihood in all countries. Energy is also fundamental to the prosperity and security of nations. The advent of globalization, the growing gap between the rich and poor, and the need to fight global warming are all intertwined with energy concerns. There is a pressing need for strategic thinking about the energy security.

| Summary/Abstract |
We use a panel of 29 Chinese provinces for the period 2003–2011 to estimate the drivers of energy intensity by means of a spatial Durbin error model. We find an inverted U-shaped relationship between energy intensity and income (energy intensity Kuznets curve). Ten provinces, notably the developed east coast provinces, have already passed the turning point of 29,673 RMB. The number of years for the other 19 provinces to reach the turning point ranges between 8.3 (Jilin) and 21.8 (Yunnan). The share of the secondary sector in the own province and in neighboring provinces causes an increase in energy intensity, the capital-labor ratio a decrease. Foreign direct investment (FDI) has a significant negative spatial spillover impact on energy intensity. To improve the sustainability of its energy resources and its environmental conditions, China needs to continue reducing its energy intensity by further developing modern industrial systems to counterbalance the negative effects of its economic growth and energy consumption. An adequate policy handle is investment in research and development and stimulation of their introduction into production processes. For that purpose, market mechanisms can be readily applied, particularly energy prices that adequately reflect energy scarcity and external effects. FDI is also an effective tool to transfer advanced technology to China.

| Summary/Abstract |
Energy accounting is a system used to keep track of energy consumption and energy costs. Energy accounting may refer to estimate or calculation of energy consumption for a pacific system or end-use, such as heating, cooling, electrolysis, lighting and water heating or it can be applied to a plant as a whole.

The strong motivated ISIS is a indirectly, the creation of International Community. Had the international community taken early step and forced al-Assad to step down by supporting his democratic opponents, this monster would not have been there. Policies persuaded by the powers like Russia, China and America perpetuated the autocratic rulers al Assad in Syria and this made the entry and position of ISIS strong.

| Summary/Abstract |
Central Asia having emerged as an important region of global energy scenario becomes a target of the Great Game Politics. While the presence of hydrocarbon resources were relatively known during the Soviet era, entry and explorations by major energy giants of the West during the last two decades has confirmed that Central Asia will be an additional, though not an alternative source for their growing energy needs. The Western firms initiated the politics and process of Multiple Pipeline network to have access to energy of Central Asia which has generated competition and conflict among major players. Being its southern underbelly, Russia’s energy giants with strong support of leadership, have been aggressively pursuing their economic and political interests in Central Asia. China has emerged as a major power having worked out a well planned and funded roadmap in Central Asia’s energy sector to meet its fast increasing demand. Russia and China have commonality of interests to counter the West which is keen to enhance its presence and acquire oil and gas bypassing Russia. The West is supported by leadership of Central Asia who want to diversify their market and promote their national interest. India, though late and not a major player, having close and cordial relations with the CAS, can and should explore various alternatives to meet its growing energy security needs from Central Asia.

This article examines the impact of water on the relationships between Turkey and its downstream riparian states, Syria and Iraq. This article defines water resources in international standards and examines the historical relationships between the three states, which have been complicated by the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP). Examining the history of Turco-Iraqi and Turco-Syrian relations, this article shows that GAP, though a point of contention, has not been the principal factor governing the relations between the three countries.

| Summary/Abstract |
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 powersChina, Japan, Korea and Indiain 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 themselvesa daunting task in itself since Asian countries have little experience of strategic dialogue with each other on Asian issues.

| Summary/Abstract |
In conclusion, India doesn’t have any country specific policy towards the Central Asian region. It needs to develop that part of its engagement with the region. Additionally, China cannot be ignored while dealing with Central Asia, as it largely factors in the regional trajectory of the region. India needs to include Chinese relevance in its Central Asian policy. India has already price for its in activeness and lack of broad vision in Kashmir, Tibet, Xinjiang, Myanmar and many more. It shouldn’t repeat them again in Central Asia.

| Summary/Abstract |
Iran has often come forward to become an energy provider both for the Mediterranean (Turkey, Greece and Europe now dealing with new gas routes scenario) and for the Eastern Asian countries like Pakistan and India or Kazakhstan with which Iran is starting a cooperation on petrochemicals, oil and gas. Although its geographic position allows Iran to think big, conquering the Western countries' trust won't be easy. Let's consider for example the reduction of oil exportations in the first few months of 2014 following restrictions linked to the agreement on the easing of sanctions.
