Energy Transit States and Maritime Security In The Malacca Strait: The Case of Singapore

---

This paper critically evaluates the role that Singapore plays in regional maritime security in Southeast
Asia. It demonstrates that although the Malacca Strait’s littoral states notionally have a common
interest in maritime security politics, competition as well as cooperation has been a hallmark of
Singapore’s approach. To explain this, we offer a conceptual extension to the emerging scholarly
literature on energy security: a typology for different types of energy transit state. Our analysis
identifies Singapore as an enmeshed energy transit state, a role which imposes specific requirements
on its security policy. Finally, we examine the key areas of threat perception, the protection of energy
assets through defence policy and port rivalry, as well as Singaporean leadership roles in multilateral
security initiatives. In so doing we argue that a typology of energy transit states which goes beyond a
‘good-bad’ dualism is potentially useful for helping us understand the behaviour of states in the
Malacca Strait.
