Apart from China, there are two other large energy consumers in North-East Asia: Japan and South Korea. This Working Paper briefly addresses the position and energy forecasts for the two countries. It proceeds to analyse the strategic responses of Tokyo and Seoul to the deterioration (whether perceived or real) of their energy security, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Finally, the paper details some of the lessons that other countries which are highly dependent on energy imports might learn from the experience of Japan and South Korea.

Since the extraordinary People’s Movement
of April 2006, Nepal has been moving steadily, to the surprise of some, down
the path to peace. If politicians on all sides can keep their nerve, and their
commitment to peace and genuine democracy, then Nepal will have elections this
June that will take it one more huge step forward to the modern, human
rights-respecting democracy that its millions of demonstrators so powerfully
called for last April.
