This timely study is the first to examine the relationship between
competition for energy resources and the propensity for conflict in
the Caspian region. Taking the discussion well beyond issues of
pipeline politics and the significance of Caspian oil and gas to
the global market, the book offers significant new findings
concerning the impact of energy wealth on the political life and
economies of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. The
contributors, a leading group of scholars and policymakers, explore
the differing interests of ruling elites, the political opposition,
and minority ethnic and religious groups region-wide. Placing
Caspian development in the broader international relations context,
the book assesses the ways in which Russia, China, Iran, and Turkey
are fighting to protect their interests in the newly independent
states and how competition for production contracts and pipeline
routes influences regional security. Specific chapters also link
regional issues to central questions of international politics and
to theoretical debates over the role of energy wealth in political
and economic development worldwide. Woven throughout the
implications for U.S. policy, giving the book wide appeal to
policymakers, corporate executives, energy analysts, and scholars
alike.
In this saga of brilliant triumphs and magnificent failures, David
E. Hoffman, the former Moscow bureau chief for the Washington Post,
sheds light on the hidden lives of Russia's most feared power
brokers: the oligarchs. Focusing on six of these ruthless men--
Alexander Smolensky, Yuri Luzhkov, Anatoly Chubais, Mikhail
Khodorkovsky, Boris Berezovsky, and Vladimir Gusinsky--Hoffman
shows how a rapacious, unruly capitalism was born out of the ashes
of Soviet communism.
