Editorial Reviews

This study, conceived at a conference organized by SNS Energy in Stockholm late in 1990, provides a succinct account of what may happen to the energy sector in the Former Soviet Union (FSU) in the medium to long run under alternative scenarios for macroeconomic reform. The analyses reveal the serious damage of the oil-resource base caused by the reckless exploitation practices of the past. The likely evolution of FSU energy exports until 2005 is also explored, and the impact that changing export flows could have on the international prices of oil, coal, and natural gas is discussed in detail.
