In the last couple of years there was a large increase in
energy consumption in Southeast Asia which was followed by a
worldwide energy pivot and attention towards the region.
Countries within the region are thus met with multiple
challenges in the quest to prosper in the competitive
environment.  Energy security is necessary for the ability to
satisfy escalating energy demand, while there is an increasing
pressure to lower pollution linked with it. The People's
Republic of China is in the region the leader of energy
transformation towards renewable resources, with abundant
economic and technical knowledge and capital. The question
remains, how the cooperation with China affects other countries
in the region, not necessarily only in the energy area.
Following diploma thesis tries to map out cooperation of
multiple Asian countries with China and on chosen case studies
of Indonesia and Myanmar demonstrate, which opportunities and
threats are stemming from it for specific countries. The thesis
will work with SWOT analysis connected with dimension of energy
trilemma.
