Description: Northeast Asia is an area in which energy developments are of supreme importance. The region's rapid economic growth is leading to ever increasing energy demands, but at present energy supply depends very heavily upon imports. This landmark study explores the region's energy situation and resources, and examines in depth the political, economic, and industrial issues that underpin any effort to develop the major gas and oil reserves. It focuses upon the major frontier projects in the Russian Far East and China, and the future possibilities for multilateral energy relations.
