The Sea Power Centre Australia volume Asian Energy Security: Regional Cooperation in the Malacca Strait examines the maritime routes behind Asian energy supplies. Its chapters cover Australian self-sufficiency, Japanese and Taiwanese energy concerns, and the economic consequences of interrupted shipping. Port attacks and threats to energy lanes extend the problem beyond protecting ships in open water. Naval control of shipping, coast-guard cooperation, and maritime coalitions address different parts of that security problem. The volume is recommended for readers interested in contemporary defence and energy security.
