Book Description
Japan and the US have similar problems in their accelerating demand for energy and heavy reliance on energy imports. Measures to meet energy requirements are centrally important to economic and foreign policy of both countries. The common course of detente with the USSR leads to parallel interests in acquiring Siberian energy. Project negotiations are seriously underway by Japanese and US companies with the USSR, and these developments pose new policy questions for the governments in Washington and Tokyo. The Japanese and US international search for energy is becoming a test case of cooperation of competition in international trade and monetary affairs. Long-term implications for US foreign, security, economic and environmental policies of the US approach to international energy questions require US governmental organization which can monitor rapid developments and respond with timely decisions, guidance and action.

Russian Energy Chains
Author: Margarita M. Balmaceda
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 023155219X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
Russia’s use of its vast energy resources for leverage against post-Soviet states such as Ukraine is widely recognized as a threat. Yet we cannot understand this danger without also understanding the opportunity that Russian energy represents. From corruption-related profits to transportation-fee income to subsidized prices, many within these states have benefited by participating in Russian energy exports. To understand Russian energy power in the region, it is necessary to look at the entire value chain—including production, processing, transportation, and marketing—and at the full spectrum of domestic and external actors involved, from Gazprom to regional oligarchs to European Union regulators. This book follows Russia’s three largest fossil-fuel exports—natural gas, oil, and coal—from production in Siberia through transportation via Ukraine to final use in Germany in order to understand the tension between energy as threat and as opportunity. Margarita M. Balmaceda reveals how this dynamic has been a key driver of political development in post-Soviet states in the period between independence in 1991 and Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. She analyzes how the physical characteristics of different types of energy, by shaping how they can be transported, distributed, and even stolen, affect how each is used—not only technically but also politically. Both a geopolitical travelogue of the journey of three fossil fuels across continents and an incisive analysis of technology’s role in fossil-fuel politics and economics, this book offers new ways of thinking about energy in Eurasia and beyond.

Japan's Energy Conundrum
U.S.-Japan Cooperation in the Development of Siberia and the Russian Far East
Japan's Siberian Intervention, 1918–1922
Author: Paul E. Dunscomb
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 0739146025
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
The fifty months of the Siberian Intervention encompass the existential crisis which affected Japanese at virtually all levels when confronted with the new 'world situation' left in the wake of the First World War. From elite politicians and military professionals, to public intellectuals and the families of servicemen in small garrison towns, the intervention was perceived as a test of how Japan might fit itself into the emerging postwar world order. Both domestically and internationally Japan's actions in Siberia were seen as critical proof of the nation's ability, depending on one's viewpoint, to embrace or to ride out the 'trends of the times,' the seeming triumph of constitutional democracy and Wilsonian internationalism. The course of the Siberian Intervention illuminates the struggle to cement 'responsible' party cabinets at the heart of Japanese decision making, the high water mark of efforts to bring the Japanese military under civilian control, the attempt to fundamentally reshape Japanese continental policy, and the hopes of millions of Japanese that their voices be heard and their desires respected by the nation's leaders. The book attempts a broad examination of domestic politics, foreign policy, and military action by incorporating a wide array of voices through a detailed examination of public comment and discussion in journals and magazines, the major circulation daily newspapers of Tokyo and Osaka as well as those of smaller cities such as Nara, Mito, Oita, and Tsuruga.
