The EU-Russian Energy Dialogue (The International Political Economy of New Regionalisms)

EU-Russian energy dialogue represents a policy issue that forces us to take a serious look at several crucial questions related to the present and future of Europe such as: how can the EU area ensure its future energy security when it is running out of its own energy resources and at the same time incorporating new members who are also dependent on energy imports? This book not only outlines the overall characteristics of the energy dialogue, but also illustrates the involved policy implementation challenges by paying special attention to the regional context of northern Europe.Due to the many crucial policy issues, this study contributes to diverse fields such as international relations and political science, European studies, studies on energy politics, the international political economy, post-Soviet politics, and literature on regionalisation and regionalisms, with a special reference on northern Europe.
