| Summary: | "Energy security is an issue of common concern in Asia and Europe because of broad similarities in their energy situation, such as a high import dependency and dependence on the Middle East. The rise in energy demand in Asia has substantially affected the global energy balance and will have obvious implications for the rest of the world, and Europe in particular. Energy security also exhibits to some extent the characteristics of a public good, which may be usefully managed in a collective way. As a result, there is definitely scope for cooperation on energy issues between the countries of the two regions, despite possible competing interest. The major objective of the present volume is to show that broadly converging interest between the two regions on a number of energy security-related issues give them a opportunity to blaze a trail and provide guidance for global governance on these matters."--P.
