About this book

The Gas Troika on the European Gas Market assesses the energy policy of the Gas Troika Organization (GTO) as an entity and its members, Russia, Iran and Qatar, operating in the European gas market (EGM) between 2008 and 2015. The book focuses on their interests, policies and frameworks, and the enabling and constraining factors they encounter in the European market.

The energy policies of the GTO members are discussed in the context of extraction and distribution of natural gas, its export to the European countries and the environmental side-effects of these contracts. The important questions examined in this pioneering study are:

How do the GTO members develop their interests and energy policies in the European environment?

How do the common interests and policies of the GTO members explain the framework of the organization in the EGM?

How is this organization perceived and assessed as a semi-coherent regional entity?

The book applies a social structuration theoretical framework with respect to geographical resources, economy, international relations and environmental dimensions to provide a multi-disciplinary assessment. Researchers in energy economics and political sciences, as well as energy analysts and consultants will find this book to be extremely beneficial.

Reviews

" Dr. Fatemeh Shayan offers an intriguing and innovative approach to examining energy cooperation. Her fact-rich discussion and careful analysis paint a comprehensive picture that is as educational as it is nuanced. Shayan does not follow an ideological script; rather she offers readers a multi-dimensional view of national and international natural gas regimes whilst masterfully dealing with the complexity of the material through clear organization. This is a must-read book for those who are interested in learning about the world of natural gas."
