â?? Both the historical conditions and future prospects of Russian state and corporate power through oil and gas production, transportation, and sales are explored with relational, comparative and multi-disciplinary perspectives in this fascinating volume. Critical to the social science of energy security and business, this volume also should be read by anyone interested in the implications of the last decade's reconfiguration of Russian energy power for global economic, political, and environmental transformations â?? - Michael D.
