Abstract:
In 2003, Singapore was the hub of the Southeast Asian oil trade. The Government of Thailand, as part of a strategic plan to become the 'Regional Energy Centre', planned to construct a 'land energy bridge'. This project was estimated to cut down the shipping route between the Middle East and Southeast Asian nations, saving the freight costs. Some oil-analysts were skeptical about the commercial viability of the project. However, the government was keen to develop the project and challenge the monopoly of Singapore in the Southeast Asian oil trade.
Pedagogical Objectives:
- To discuss the costs and benefits of the project for Thailand and the implications of the new projects on the Southeast Asian economy.
