Gulshan Dietl

India and the Global Game of Gas Pipelines (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Gas pipelines constitute an important, yet unexplored, aspect of strategic geography. As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, India's need for energy is paramount. Though surrounded by gas-rich regions - Myanmar and Bangladesh to the east, the Gulf to the west and Central Asia to the north - India does not have a single gas pipeline coming in, going out or traversing through its territory to date.

This book highlights the global competition over gas pipelines and its implications for India's energy security in a comprehensive manner.
