Bøger af Margarita M. Balmaceda

Margarita M. Balmaceda follows Russia's three largest fossil-fuel exports-natural gas, oil, and coal-from production in Siberia through transportation via Ukraine to final use in Germany in order to understand the tension between energy as threat and as opportunity.

A must-read for anyone interested in Eastern Europe, Russia, and the politics of natural resources, this book reveals the insights gained by looking at post-Soviet development and international relations issues not only from a Moscow-centered perspective, but from that of individual actors in other states.

Investigates how Russia manipulated the energy dependency of its neighbours on Russian energy supplies to achieve its foreign policy goals, focusing in particular on relations with the Ukraine.
