'Bringing together an impressive roster of the world's leading experts in the field of Russian energy politics, this collection provides an empirically rich and theoretically-sophisticated study of the challenges facing the management of Russia's energy resources. As the country seeks to modernise and diversify, the issue of whether its energy resources are a curse or a blessing is deftly analysed to provide unique insights that will be of interest to a broad range of readers.'
