| Summary/Abstract |
It is now generally accepted that energy security could be significantly enhanced through sustained cross-border exchanges in many regions. In South Asia, however regional energy security cooperation has seriously remained entangled in geopolitics and trust deficit. The possibility of over-exploitation of natural resources such as coal, natural gas and oil reserves and the low level of political confidence in sharing hydro resources have placed serious obstacles to enhancing the level of energy security in the region.
