Description:
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.
Brief description:
Margarita M. Balmaceda is professor of Diplomacy and International Relations at Seton Hall University, and a research associate at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies and the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University.
Review Quotes: 'Balmaceda's book is the most informative monograph available on all the various aspects of "the energy sector" in Ukraine, as well as in Belarus and Lithuania.... The book surely deserves a wider reading than those attracted by its main title.'
