Baev aNew York :bRoutledge,c2008 axii, 237 p. ;c24 cm aIndeks : p. 228 - 237 ap. 195 - 227 a"This book examines the interplay between energy policy and security policy under Vladimir Putin and his drive to re-establish Russia?s ?greatness?. Assessing conflicts and divergences between these policies, this book argues that Russia?s desire to strengthen its role of ?energy security? provider is undermined by its inability to secure growth in production of oil and gas and by the desire to maximize political dividends from energy exports. The pressing demand to channel more resources into the military-industrial complex clashes with the growing need to invest in the energy complex, and the attempts to apply energy and military instruments for boosting Rusia?s prestige undermine its international credibility. In conclusion, the author anticipates how these contradictions could be resolved and suggests three short scenarios for Russia?s continuing transition in the next decade. This book will be of interest to Russian politics, European politics, and international security.
