在世界能源体系东移的形势下，南亚和东南亚国家在全球能源格局中的角色越来越重要。南亚、东南亚国家大多为发展中国家，近年能源消费量不断增加，2008年金融海啸后亦没有减缓的迹象，预期需求在未来20年还会持续增加，这将令它们成为21世纪主要的石油能源消费者之一。南亚和东南亚国家能源政策的重点有三个方面：第一，能源供应多样化；第二，加强区域能源网和电力供应；第三，推广区域能源合作。本文将分析南亚和东南亚地区的能源发展状况，并从地区和主要国家两个层面讨论该地区的能源政策和战略。
Most South Asian and Southeast Asian countries are developing countries with rising energy consumption. Even after the financial crisis in 2008，there is not a sign to indicate that the energy demand will decrease.In fact，it is expected to increase over the next two decades，which will make the South Asian and Southeast Asian countries major oil and energy consumers. With the eastward shift of the world energy system，South Asian and Southeast Asian countries will play more important roles in the global energy landscape. There are three important aspects of the energy policy for South Asian and Southeast Asian countries：diversifying of energy supply；strengthening regional energy networks and power supplies；and promoting regional energy cooperation. This paper analyzes energy development in South and Southeast Asia and discusses energy policy and strategy in the areas from both regional and national perspectives.
