China and the U.S. are both great powers with vast
and rapidly increasing consumption of oil. Despite
considerable domestic production, this has resulted
in a need for imports. Dependence on unstable oil
producers outside American or Chinese control is
considered by both states as an economic problem, but
more importantly as a potential threat to national
security. The book particularly emphasizes the
security aspects of this dependence, in other words
questions of energy security, which are viewed as
increasingly important by the governments of both
countries. This is a case study looking at the
policies of China and the U.S. in the Caspian Sea
region, which is an emerging (or arguably
re-emerging) oil producing region in a global
context. A considerable volume of empirical data has
been collected in order to gain an overview of these
policies. The book seeks to explain the effectiveness
and wider implications of those policies for the
countries involved, and the world, using insight from
the neorealist and neoliberal schools of
international relations.
