520			_aThis book is concerned with the military aspects of energy security in maritime Asia and is written from a naval perspective. Asia includes the second and third largest energy consumers as well as many of the largest producers but sources and markets are far apart and the vast majority of oil and gas is transported by sea. First the book considers the processes of energy extraction and the threats to SLOCs (sea lines of communication) including sovereignty disputes, then comments on classical maritime theories and the maritime strategy of various Asian states, then assesses regional naval powers (NB data on Brunei is incorrect); the next chapter covers the role of multilateral organisations and arrangements including the UN, APEC, ASEAN, ARF, CSCAP, and the PSI; the conclusion addresses possible future naval developments in the light of energy demand.
