Big Oil Playground, Russian Bear Preserve or European Periphery?
<DIV>In the far northwestern corner of Russia lies the Barents Sea: a rich region of natural resources that has yet to be fully exploited. Future actions taken in Barents will create major environmental, political, and economic ripples around the globe. <I>Big Oil Playground, Russian Bear Preserve or European Periphery?</I> explores three plausible and thought-provoking scenarios for the region's future over the next two decades. <BR><BR>The volume considers whether the international energy industry will transform Barents into a "big oil playground," if environmental protection rules will make it a "Russian bear preserve," or if integration into world trade will put it on the "European periphery." The result is a valuable resource for understanding the changing dynamics and challenges in modern public planning and a globalized economy. <BR>
