Book description
India's search for energy security is assuming challenging
dimensions. In the broad framework of India's approach to its Asian
neighbours, this study explores India's extended neighbourhood for the
prospects of energy cooperation. The study focuses on four countries:
Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam and Iran, about which there exists a
considerable information gap in the public domain. While Bangladesh's
decision to supply its surplus gas is trapped in its internal politics,
other neighbours of India, particularly Iran and Myanmar, offer encouraging
prospects for energy cooperation. India's bilateral relations with
these countries are cordial and cooperative and it has adopted innovative
strategies to harness their energy potential. The study suggests that
there is scope for India to encourage its private sector also, to strengthen
its search for energy security. The study also looks into the
structures of energy decision-making in these countries and political
imperatives of such decisions with regard to energy cooperation with India.
