“This scientific monograph will be useful to students, professors, experts and practitioners … . The book is highly recommended because it comprises an excellent introduction regarding gas trade relations between the EU and Russia and postulates an insightful mapping of the existing and ongoing pipeline systems. It also makes a critical analysis of the political, economic and geopolitical elements affecting relations between the Western community and Russia.” (Ioannis Galariotis, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 68 (8), 2016)
