China, Oil and Global Politics

This book provides a critical overview of how China's growing need for oil imports is shaping its international economic and diplomatic strategy and how this affects global political relations and behaviour. It draws together the various dimensions of China's international energy strategy, and provides insights into the impact of this on China's growing presence across the world.
