Summary/Abstract |
On a number of occasions, former Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the active involvement of his country in international and regional integration processes was one of the key instruments for the modernisation of the national economy. This was illustrated by the dialogue on energy issues between Russia and the United States, activated in 2003-5. ALEXANDAR TODOREV argues that the stability and predictability of world energy markets will depend largely upon the diplomatic efforts of both countries to find a sensible balance between various interests on global, regional and bilateral levels.
