Originally published in 1987, The Political Economy of Natural Gas offers a thorough examination of the global natural gas industry.

In the realm of international relations, the supply of natural gas plays a pivotal role, shaping interactions between importing and exporting nations. The Political Economy of Natural Gas discusses significant projects, such as the Siberian natural gas pipeline, which transports Soviet gas to Western Europe.
