Beschreibung:
Agnia Grigas (née BaranauskaitÄ-) specializes in energy security and emerging markets. She consults multinational corporations and governments on political risk and business development in Central and Eastern Europe. Agnia has also served as an adviser to a Lithuanian foreign minister and holds a PhD in International Relations from University of Oxford.
The Baltic states share similar histories and resources, and face the same geopolitical challenges. All are dependent on Russia for energy yet, as this fascinating study reveals, they have pursued very different foreign policies towards their powerful neighbour. In The Politics of Energy and Memory between the Baltic States and Russia Agnia Grigas provides an unprecedented analysis of contemporary Baltic-Russian relations and identifies the causal factors that drive the foreign policies of the Baltic states in such divergent routes. Supported by case studies on the oil and gas sectors as well as the tug of history, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars and policy makers.
Contents: Introduction; Domestic politicking and foreign policy; The Baltic oil sector: legacy of dependence; The case of pipeline politics; The Baltic gas sector: legacy of dependence; The case of Gazprom politics; Politics of memory: the case of Soviet victory celebrations; Politics of memory: the case of Soviet occupation damages; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.
