Springer,  2011,  400 p.,  ISBN: 978-94-007-0718-4, 179,30 € (Series: NATO Science for Peace and Security Series C: Environmental Security)http://www.springer.com/economics/game+theory/book/978-94-007-0718-4Presentation by Springer :In terms of energy security the Black Sea region is important to Europe.  Inevitably and for very good reasons, a lot of attention has been given  to the existing and planned pipeline routes going around or across the  Black Sea. Much less attention has been given to the development of the  Black Sea energy market in its own right and to the potential advantages  of coping with some current and future energy issues in a multilateral  regional format rather than through individual action at national level.  The present book addresses, in a comprehensive manner, the current  problematic of energy security and goes beyond pipeline politics,  without playing down their continued significance; it addresses some  topical questions related to the sustainability and resilience of energy  systems as applicable to the Black Sea region.
