From the Preface: "This book is a comprehensive and critical investigation of the evolving partnership among India, China and Africa in the field of energy security. The author has also carefully evaluated the strategic, economic and political implications of energy security both for the energy producing as well as energy importing economies of the North and the South.

It ought to be noted that India and China are the major importers of energy in order to sustain their robust economic growth in the twenty-first century. China is the second largest consumer of energy, next only to the United State of America. India, on the other hand, is the sixth largest consumer of energy in the world.

This work will be an indispensable and valuable source of information for academicians, researchers, as well as diplomats and policy-makers in the sphere of energy security and its various implications."
