Routledge Handbook of Energy in Asia

<p><em>The Routledge Handbook of Energy in Asia</em> presents a comprehensive review of the unprecedented growth of Asian energy over the past quarter of a century. It provides insightful analysis into variation across the continent, whilst highlighting areas of cross-learning and regional cooperation between the developed and developing countries of Asia. Prepared by a team of leading international experts, this book not only captures the East Asian domination, particularly that of China, but also highlights the growing influence of South Asia and the ASEAN. </p><p></p><p>Organised into four parts, the sections include:</p><p></p><ul> <br><br><p></p> <li>the demand for energy in the region and its main drivers at the sector level;</li> <br><br> <br><br><p></p> <li>developments in energy supply, including fossil fuels and renewable energy sources;</li> <br><br> <br><br><p></p> <li>energy policies and issues such as sector reform and climate change;</li> <br><br> <br><br><p></p> <li>the transition to a low carbon pathway. </li> <br><br> </ul><p></p><p>This handbook offers a complete picture of Asian energy, covering supply and demand, as well as contemporary challenges in the sector.
