Russia’s energy policies. National, interregional and global levels / ed. by Pami Aalto. Edward Elgar, 2012, 288 pp Hardback 978 1 84980 Hardback £75.00 on-line price £67.50029 7http://www.e-elgar.com/bookentry_main.lasso?id=13885The book explains Russian energy policies, instead of a policy. It portrays a picture with multiple policy drivers, including institutional, regional and federal, environmental and commercial. The study markedly improves our understanding of the multifaceted nature of Russian energy policy, a topical and complex issue. This is a highly commendable book that should be included in the reading lists of anyone with an interest in the role of energy in Russia’s political economy or energy matters more generally.
