ISAS Special Reports

This policy report is the result of a roundtable organised by the Energy Studies Institute and the Institute of South Asian Studies, both of the National University of Singapore, to explore the role of energy security and maritime governance in promoting regional cooperation in the Bay of Bengal, and in this context, identify the key challenges and opportunities in this emerging subregion.
  
While transnational and multilateral cooperation requires agreement on certain common goals, the report suggests that for the Bay of Bengal subregion to prosoper, common action points must be found and a target-oriented approach should be adopted.
