• W2312158458 abstract "Though the national economies in Asia depend upon a mix of energy sourceswithin national borders, ranging from coal in China, to hydroelectricity in theMekong Delta, to geothermal reserves in the Philippines, the prospect oftransnational cooperation on energy infrastructure is intriguing. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) regularly touts the promise ofbuilding a Trans-ASEAN Gas Pipeline (TAGP) and an ASEAN Power Grid,giving assurances that doing so would facilitate the flow of energy servicesthroughout the region and deepen economic ties among member states. InSouth Asia, we hear analysts and pundits repeatedly discuss plans for anIran-Pakistan-India (IPI) gas pipeline as well as a Turkmenistan-AfghanistanPakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline. Across the continent in north-east Asia,South Korea and Japan continue to talk about a regional electricity grid;plans for a trans-Siberian oil pipeline, stretching from Lake Baikal in Russiato the Sea of Japan, are underway; and Mongolia, China and South Koreaare ruminating about the possibility of erecting a massive concentrated solarpower facility in the Gobi Desert.These types of engagements are often lauded for offering greater opportu-nities for cross-border investment, the sharing of best practices and improvedresource efficiency. With truly massive growth in energy demand expectedbetween 2008 and 2035 – the latest International Energy Agency (IEA) projections anticipate the need for more than US $1 trillion of investments innew energy infrastructure (IEA 2010: 3-4) – transnational energy projects arealso seen as a useful tool for building large amounts of much-needed energycapacity, all in one go. Even the Asian Development Bank (ADB) suggeststhat Asia alone will need to invest a staggering US $290 billion in regionalenergy infrastructure between 2010 and 2020, in addition to US $8 trillion inoverall national infrastructure (ADBI 2009: 2). Others have argued that largescale transnational energy projects can enable countries to stockpile resourcesand avoid duplication; allow them to link infrastructure in ways that distribute costs, create synergies and improve market efficiencies; and engender ashared sense of vulnerability to the risk of accidents and disruptions, whichcan promote ‘coordination and cooperation’ (Jaffe 2001: 491-503). Onerecent study even went so far as to argue that ‘a shared need for [energy]resource commerce can be a means of fostering cooperation between states’,and that in some cases ‘pipelines become conduits of peace-building’ (Ali2010: 12).This chapter questions the conventional logic that large, capital-intensive,multi-billion-dollar energy megaprojects (of either a national or transnationalnature) are most effective in enhancing economic, social and environmentalwelfare. It argues that, due to their scale, size and complexity, such projectsface a collection of largely unavoidable inefficiencies that far outweigh thoseconfronting energy infrastructures at smaller scales within national borders.The article begins by justifying the selection of three case studies – the BakuTbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline in the Caspian Sea, the TAGP in Southeast Asia,and the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy in Borneo – and summarizing its methods of data collection, primarily research interviews and site visits.It then suggests that each of these projects is prone to a common set ofobstacles, before offering lessons for energy development and policy." @default.
