The Shale Gas in North Pacific Energy Security explores the energy security and climate change aspects of North Pacific cooperation in the emerging shale-gas era. Bringing together prominent energy experts from the three North Pacific energy suppliers (Canada, Russia, and the United States) and three major North Pacific energy consumers (China, Japan, and Korea), the book attempts to evaluate how Japan and the U.S. (and China and Korea) will readjust thir energy mix scenarios to these market realities and to identify innovative solutions to mutually beneficial energy trade and investment between the export and import nations, and a more integrated North Pacific energy market.

Regarding the implications of the U.S. shale gas revolution for the global energy market, the book describes the fundamental changes in the global energy market that has resulted from the development of shale gas in the United States. On North Pacific Countries' responses to the U.S. shale gas revolution and Fukushima nuclear incident, the book addresses how four North Pacific countries (the United States, China, Japan, and Korea) have readjusted their projected energy mix options. In the case of geopolitical interplay of energy cooperation in the North Pacific, the book explores the opportunities and challenges for energy trade and investment between energy importers and exporters in the North Pacific region. On building North Pacific Cooperation in the energy market, the book examines what is needed to realize the full potential for more-integrated energy trade and investment between the North Pacific states in light of the unconventional oil and gas revolution and Asia's rising energy demand.

The book attempts to fill the gaps in knowledge regarding how the energy strategies of North Pacific countries will be shaped in resonse to the U.S. shale gas revolution, North American unconventional oil production and the Fukushima incident, and in particular to determine areas of consensus and differences in perspective.
