"The book explores the proactive and reactive features of China and India's domestic and foreign policies to address two intertwined challenges: first, China and India have taken policy measures that accord with their own domestic priorities; second, both countries have had to alter the trajectory of their proactive policy measures as a result of external pressures. The book argues that China and India's proactive and reactive policy measures to address energy insecurity and climate change have been shaped by their two-level pressures. At the domestic/unit level, both countries have had to sustain fast economic growth and eradicate poverty in order to maximize their economic wealth. At the international/systemic level, both countries have sought to enhance their great power status in the international system which is characterized by not only asymmetrical interdependence but also global governance in general, and global energy and climate governance in particular"-- "China and India, the world's largest and third largest energy consumers and greenhouse gas emitters respectively, are faced with the dual challenges of energy insecurity and climate change. Energy and Climate Policies in China and India explores the proactive and reactive feature of both China and India's domestic and foreign policies to address these two intertwined challenges: one the one hand, both China and India have taken policy measures that accord with their own domestic priorities; on the other hand, both countries have had to alter the trajectory of their proactive policy measures as a result of external pressures.
