Description
This chapter is concerned with the environmental protection of the places where the search for elements that produce energy have increased in the last years. Its aims are three-fold: first, to outline the evolution of the emergent oil nexus between the major Asian consumers and Gulf producers; second, to analyse the short, medium and possible long-term risks that arise from this dynamic; and third, to consider possible medium to longer-term benefits that might arise from a trans-Asian energy collaboration based on renewable energy.
