The Energy Security Worldviews in Asia Roundtable examines how key actors with an influence on energy decision making in Japan, South Korea, and China view their country's energy vulnerability and security. What strategies are being promoted? How susceptible are these countries' energy policies to being "securitized" toward nationalist preferences over market oriented and international strategies?  Where does the center of gravity of thinking on energy security lie?
