Details: With Central Asia and the Caspian region having emerged as vital source of energy supply, there has been a new quest for alternative and shortest transportation routes to export oil/gas from this region to other countries, especially the South Asian countries. The Middle East being in a flux, particularly after the Iraq conflict, the ongoing Iran imbroglio and now the war in Libya, energy-importing countries have been diversifying their sources of supply. Whereas Europe is looking towards Russian supplies, Japan and China are keen to tap the Russian Far East, Siberia, Kazakhstan and the Caspian region for their growing energy needs. China needs to boost its energy consumption by about 150 per cent to maintain its economic growth rate. Being the sixth largest energy consumer in the world, India's crude imports are expected to double in a decade. Cross-border energy projects have two major problems - investments and vulnerability to supply interruptions. The establishment of a Pan-Asian gas supplies system passing through Asia connecting the source country and consumer countries would be beneficial for the region. Energy security implies stable supply, developed market and secured transportation routes. This book deals with issues related to energy and transport linkages between Central and South Asia. Part I, It covers up Energy Cooperation, comprising thirteen chapters, deals with the geopolitics of energy resources in Eurasia, Caspian Basin, Russias energy policy, Kazakhstans energy strategy, Chinas energy initiatives in Central Asia, besides exploring the problems and prospects of India-Pakistan-Iran (IPI) and Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipelines. Part II dealing with the subject of Transport Linkages, includes seven chapters which deal with the challenges of connectivity faced by landlocked states, Silk Route, Trans-Siberian Railway, North-South Corridor, India's options for land access to Central Asia and newly built Gwadar Port in Pakistan.
