Routledge - The Chinese Shadow on India's Eastward Engagement

Explore the complex dynamics of energy security in the Asia-Pacific region with this academic study from Routledge. As one of the world's largest oil importers, India is actively working to diversify its energy resources to ensure long-term stability. This book examines how India manages its energy ties while navigating the power politics of the region. With China's increasing influence in Asia, India's strategic direction is shaped by its Act East Policy and various institutional commitments to Southeast Asia. This volume moves beyond traditional definitions of energy security to look at the diverse facets that impact regional stability. It provides a deep look into how geopolitical competition and energy needs shape the relationship between India, China, and their neighbors. This is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in international relations, energy policy, and the shifting balance of power in the Asia-Pacific.
