From: Tracy Timmons-Gray
Date: 2011/10/20

Video is now available from the September 22 launch event for NBR's 2011 Energy Security Report "Asia's Rising Energy and Resource Nationalism."
This event gathered senior policy and industry leaders, and Asia energy specialists to discuss the major risks emanating from Asia's growing energy insecurity and opportunities to strengthen regional collaboration.

The launch featured remarks by Senator Lisa Murkowski about Asia's approach to energy security, and Congressman Adam Smith about China's energy policies, and included a panel discussion of the dramatic developments taking place in Asian energy markets, with Mikkal Herberg (NBR), Bernard Cole (National Defense University), Edward Chow (CSIS), Yufan Hao (University of Macau), Toshikazu Okuya (METI), and Craig Gannett (The Henry M. Jackson Foundation).

Please visit NBR's website to watch video of the full event, including the presentations, "Asia's National Oil Companies," "Rare Earth Minerals and Commodity Resource Nationalism," and "Energy Resource Nationalism at Sea."

The 2011 report analyzes major risks emanating from Asia's growing insecurity, and focuses on connections between energy insecurity and control of major sea lanes, the impact of Asia's national oil companies on the global industry, and the emergence of rare earth elements as an arena for national competition.
