Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Environmental Policy, , language: English, abstract: This research covers the topic of energy security in China in the period of 1993 to 2013. The first chapter starts from a general understanding of the “energy security” notion and different approaches on its preservation. Then, it follows to the evolution of the term in China proceeding to the part describing the common situation with the most energy consuming states in the Asia-Pacific Region. The second chapter analyzes different approaches on handling energy security dilemma in China within its domestic policy. The scrutiny is made to follow the path from a widely applied over the history of China - extensive approach, continuing with a less popular but still valuable - intensive approach, and finishing with the most promising – innovative approach. Ultimately the third chapter goes beyond the internal boundaries and shows possible solutions to the risen problem on the global scale. It refers to enlargement of Beijing’s foreign energy partnership and unraveling the tangle of the Malacca Strait by an extra pipeline system crossing Myanmar, canal projects traversing some South-East Asia states, expanded energy resources production in the South China Sea and partial redirection of Chinese petroleum and LNG carriers northwards.
