This book was released on 2002-12-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores from a regional perspective the distorted nature of trade in energy products within the CIS countries. The persistence of pricing distortions, barter arrangements, and discriminatory access to pipelines, as well as failure to honor contracts, has disrupted and distorted energy exports to non-CIS countries, undermined energy sector reforms, and distorted investment decisions. The paper focuses on cross-border issues as an integral component of the wider problem of inefficient energy use within the CIS. Several policy recommendations are proposed, including measures to foster greater competition, reduce state involvement, and promote regional cooperation.

Book Synopsis The Russian State and Russian Energy Companies, 1992–2018 by : Ingerid M. Opdahl
Download or read book The Russian State and Russian Energy Companies, 1992–2018 written by Ingerid M. Opdahl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russian State and Russian Energy Companies analyses the development of relations between the state and five major energy companies, and how this shaped Russia’s foreign policy in the post-Soviet region. The book argues that the development of Russia’s political economy mattered for foreign policy over the quarter of a century from 1992 to 2018. Energy companies’ roles in institutional development enabled them to influence foreign policy formation, and they became available as tools to implement foreign policy. The extent to which it happened for each company varied with their accessibility to the Russian state. Institutional development increased state capacity, in a way that strengthened Russia’s political regime. The book shows how the combined power of several companies in the gas, oil, electricity, and nuclear energy industry was a key feature of Russian foreign policy, both in bilateral relationships and in support of Russia’s regional position. In this way, Russia’s energy resources were converted to regional influence. The book contributes to our understanding of Russia’s political economy and its influence on foreign policy, and of the formation of policy towards post-Soviet states.

Book Synopsis Energy, Wealth and Governance in the Caucasus and Central Asia by : Richard Auty
Download or read book Energy, Wealth and Governance in the Caucasus and Central Asia written by Richard Auty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-21 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon recent progress in development economics and political science, the book provides fresh analysis of the Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) countries transition to a market economy by tracing the impact of natural resource endowment. The book examines the synergies between energy-rich and energy-poor states and highlights the practical consequences of both well-managed and poorly-managed deployment of energy. Featuring contributions from prominent specialists on resource-driven economies, the book argues that unless CCA elites change the way in which they deploy natural resource, revenues regional development will fall short of its potential with possible disastrous consequences. The contributors apply the experience of the developing market economies to demonstrate that the region still holds considerable potential to become an important, stable supplier of raw materials and a source of industrial demand to the global economy. However, the CCA is equally likely to become a threat to the global economy as a consequence of the misuse of energy revenues to promote the interests of predatory political elites.
Book Synopsis Caspian Energy Politics by : Indra Overland
Download or read book Caspian Energy Politics written by Indra Overland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-01-21 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caspian Energy Politics analyses the role of oil and gas in the development of the three main petroleum exporters in the Caspian region - Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan - and how energy resources influence interactions with semi-authoritarian Russia and China. Due to volatile commodity prices and competition for the resources in and around the Caspian Sea, the governments of these petroleum-exporters face a series of difficult decisions. These governments have sought to balance short-term incentives to spend oil revenues as a means to maintain power against the need for a long-term strategy for managing these assets, choices which have further implications for how these countries align themselves internationally. By illuminating important linkages between domestic and international dynamics in these states, the book provides a fresh perspective on energy politics and the impact of petroleum on the development of the Caspian petroleum producers. Expert contributors from Central Asia and the South Caucasus and international scholars provide context-specific insights into the incentives affecting decision-makers that can provide a foundation for strategies to help the countries in the region overcome the negative effects of reliance on oil and gas. As such, the book will be a valuable tool for business actors seeking to understand the role of Chinese and Russian companies in the region, as well as local and international policymakers and non-governmental organisations.

Download or read book Beyond Energy written by Jacopo Maria Pepe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacopo Maria Pepe examines the rapid development of non-energy transport infrastructure in the broader Eurasian space.

He frames this process in a long-wave historical analysis and considers in detail the geopolitical, geo-economic, and theoretical implications of deepening physical connectivity for the relationships among China, Russia, Central Asia, and the European Union.

Book excerpt: This timely collection offers fresh perspectives to the analysis of the 'New Great Game' – the fight for access to the Caspian Sea region's energy resources.

Book Synopsis Arbitration in CIS Countries by : Association for International Arbitration
Download or read book Arbitration in CIS Countries written by Association for International Arbitration and published by Maklu. This book was released on 2012 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is a loose association of States whose participating countries are former Soviet republics. Although the CIS has few supranational powers, it is aimed at being more than a purely symbolic organization, nominally possessing coordinating powers in the realm of trade, finance, lawmaking, and security. Some of the members of the CIS have established the Eurasian Economic Community with the aim of creating a full-fledged common market. This book analyzes and discusses the current trend of arbitral practice in CIS countries and deals in detail with various facets which promote and inhibit arbitration. The text has been authored by highly proficient arbitration professionals who address the intricacies associated with arbitration practice in CIS countries. It considers the general policy of CIS countries towards arbitration by providing recommendations to non-CIS parties choosing arbitration in CIS countries and paying special attention to the general policy towards arbitration in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. Further, the book focuses on specific issues in arbitration in CIS countries, namely arbitrability of corporate and real estate disputes, bribery, and arbitration in Russia; interim measures at the stage of recognition and enforcement of international arbitral awards in Ukraine; and recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards annulled in the forum state (with reference to Russia). Finally, it elaborates on sector-specific arbitration, namely investment disputes at the SCC involving parties from CIS countries, arbitration in the energy sector involving parties from CIS countries, and CIS experience in the WTO dispute settlement. It will be regarded as a unique guide to arbitration in CIS countries and is a real must for everyone working with CIS countries.
Book Synopsis Of Openess and Distance by : Ms.Katrin Elborgh-Woytek
Download or read book Of Openess and Distance written by Ms.Katrin Elborgh-Woytek and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-10-01 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes developments in the structure of trade in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) during the transition decade, and finds that it changed less than in other transition economies. Trade openness of the CIS increased between 1993 and 1997, but has fallen to a lower-level plateau since then owing to regional and country-specific factors. These include slower progress in transition, geographic aspects, restrictions on trade, governance and corruption problems, weak infrastructure, lack of regional cooperation, and political conflicts. Regression results show that trade openness of the CIS countries would likely increase substantially if market-oriented reforms were pursued more vigorously.
Book Synopsis Russian Federation by : International Monetary Fund
Download or read book Russian Federation written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2002-04-04 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the Russian Federation’s 2001 Article IV Consultation and Post-Program Monitoring Discussions. Improved economic performance and reduced external vulnerability were reflected in a strengthening of financial market indicators in 2001. The Russian stock market doubled in U.S. dollar terms, bond spreads narrowed significantly, and rating agencies upgraded Russia’s debt. The near- to medium-term outlook remains favorable. The recent successes in building up strong external and fiscal positions should enable Russia to deal with the current less favorable external environment with the prevailing policy framework.
