• A compendium of 9 incisive reports which examine the political and economic implications of the new Russian energy empire on Eurasia and on world energy markets
• individual country reports analyze the emergence of a Russian foreign energy policy based on acquisitions of foreign energy assets by Russian entities
• A uniquely authoritative and comprehensive survey of the geopolitics of Eurasia and of the energy and energy security strategies of Russia and its neighbours
• Based on factual case studies, written by leading authorities on Russian hydrocarbons, critical energy infrastructure protection and energy geopolitics

The unique study will assist energy industry professionals, policy experts, and decision makers who seek to make sense of the dynamic changes that have overcome the Russian energy complex. It will help them understand the confluence of Russian private and public sector interest in controlling downstream assets in the former Soviet Union and Central and Eastern Europe and the development of Russia's energy relations with China and the global energy industry.
