Recenzje

"This book offers a variety of excellent essays that cover many new developments in China's quest for energy security, its energy strategies, and its interactions abroad in the developing world, with regional coverage of Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and Latin America as playing fields, and country coverage of China, Russia, the United States, Japan, and India as key players in those regions. This book is a must for energy policy analysts and scholars dealing with China's foreign policy behavior in the developing world. The insights offered by the authors would be invaluable for understanding China's quest for energy security abroad."-Sujian Guo, Professor of Political Science and Director of Center for US-China Policy Studies at San Francisco State University
