Japan's quest for energy security : risks and opportunities in a changing geopolitical landscape
- For much of the 20th century, economic growth was fueled by cheap oil-based energy supply.

In Japan, the rise of China’s economic and military power is a source of considerable concern. To enhance energy security, the Japanese government has recently amended its energy regulatory framework, which reveals high political awareness of risks resulting from the looming key resources shortage and competition over access.
