Contention for the CIS energy resources is topical research issue on the West
Reviewing the book by the British researcher Simon Pirani "Russian and CIS gas markets and their impact on Europe", the author opens a question about problems of cooperation between the CIS and the EU. The reviewer mentions that the book is notable for its detailed examination of the empirical evidence that makes a base both for a minute observation of the energy sphere in some post-soviet republics and for the consequences of the policy republican authorities pursue towards national gas fields.
