日本語
本論文は、南アジアにおけるインドの越境電力外交を分析し、エネルギー協力が経済的相互依存と地域統合を促進する役割を評価する。ブータン、ネパール、バングラデシュとの電力取引や水力協力が相互利益をもたらす一方、中国の影響やインフラ制約が課題であると指摘する。エネルギー主導の統合は持続可能な枠組みの構築で強化されると結論づける。
English
This paper examines India's cross-border power diplomacy in South Asia, focusing on energy cooperation with Bhutan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. It argues that electricity trade and hydropower cooperation foster regional integration and economic interdependence. However, political instability and China's growing footprint hinder progress. The study calls for a more institutionalized energy framework to enhance regional cohesion.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文は、南アジアにおける越境エネルギー協力の事例を提供するが、日本のGX文脈では直接的な関連性は低い。日本のエネルギー政策は主に国内の脱炭素化と国際的なルール形成に焦点を当てており、本論文が扱う地域統合の観点は、日本のASEANとのエネルギー協力を考える上での参考になる可能性がある。
In the global GX context
While this paper focuses on South Asia, it offers insights into how energy cooperation can drive regional integration—a relevant lesson for global GX discussions on cross-border electricity grids and renewable energy deployment. The study highlights both opportunities and challenges of using energy as a diplomatic tool, informing debates on energy security and climate cooperation.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers interested in energy diplomacy and regional integration will find a detailed case study of India's power-grid interconnection strategy.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in energy and foreign affairs can learn from India's approach to using energy as a tool for regional stability, and consider similar frameworks for their regions.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Energy has emerged as a critical instrument for fostering regional integration in South Asia, a region marked by acute energy deficits, uneven resource distribution, and persistent geopolitical tensions. This paper examines India’s cross-border power diplomacy as a strategic tool to promote economic interdependence, regional connectivity, and political trust among its neighbours. By analysing key bilateral and multilateral energy initiatives—particularly with Bhutan, Nepal, and Bangladesh—the study highlights how electricity trade, hydropower cooperation, and grid interconnections have contributed to mutual economic gains and stability. The paper also situates India’s approach within broader theoretical frameworks of liberal institutionalism and complex interdependence, demonstrating how energy cooperation can transcend traditional security dilemmas. However, challenges such as political instability, China’s growing regional footprint, and infrastructural constraints continue to limit the full potential of energy-led integration. The study concludes that a more institutionalised, inclusive, and sustainable energy framework can significantly enhance regional cohesion and position India as a pivotal energy hub in South Asia.
