Abstract :
This research explained further on the Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) initiative in Central Asia by China. This initiative try to connect China and Europe through Central and West Asia and proposed by President Xi Jinping in 2013. SREB was built as an effort for pusing economic growth, but the data of Chinese trade total in the first quarter of 2015 shows a decline. Interestingly, China still shows great optimism toward SREB despite this data as they keep raising export, infrastructure investation and gas pipe projects in countries related to SREB—especially in Central Asia where they push energy infrastructure project. China’s optimism indicates SREB has significant influence to China’s energy security. Using energy-related geoeconomy approach, this research explores how SREB initiative in Central Asia related to China’s energy security. The hypothesis is SREB significance in Central Asia is to secure access of its energy resources to guarantee China’s energy security. Energy infrastructure investation assure the hypothesis since Central Asia land-locked geography would require the infrastructure to transport resources.
