“Andrei Belyi’s latest book offers an in-depth and well-informed analysis of international gas markets, with a focus on EU–Russia energy relations. … a valuable source to understand the political economy of energy, particularly in the context of EU–Russia relations.” (Marco Siddi, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 69 (5), July, 2017) “Belyi’s monograph makes an important contribution to the field. It will no doubt find its rightful place both on the book-shelves in officials’ cabinets and in the reading lists of graduate courses on EU-Russian relations and energy studies.” (Dimitar Bechev, Energy Research & Social Science, Vol. 25, 2017) “This book provides an analysis of how transnational gas markets have evolved and impacted the European Union (EU)-Russia energy relations. … the book is an interesting read for those who wish to understand the intricacies of thegas markets in the EU-Russian energy context.” (Rafael Leal-Arcas, OGEL, April, 2016)

An insightful and lucid account of the way in which politics and economics exert their influence on Europe's gas market. Belyi's book cuts through the complexity with a powerful theoretical framework backed up with ample factual support. A must-read for anyone interested in Russia's role in Europe's energy future. - Edward Lucas, The Economist, United Kingdom This is an important book, because it connects two trends that are usually considered separately: the recentralization of gas as an instrument of Kremlin policy and the rise of a new legal and regulatory framework within the European Union. The collision between these two has profoundly destabilized the Russian-European gas trade and contributed to the present geopolitical crisis. This is an insightful and timely analysis of a major policy issue. - Thane Gustafson, IHS Energy and Georgetown University, United States
