Time to break the dependence on the Druzhba pipeline, perhaps the greatest
expression of euphemistic slavery directed towards the west since the opium
wars of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Now the west will experience
first hand the Russian meaning of the word "DRUZHBA".

This book provides an alternative approach to analyzing Western Europe's
much-debated dependence on Russian natural gas. The actual and potential
consequences of this dependence have in recent years become a growing
concern both in individual importing countries and at the level of the
European Union. Russian gas exports have come to decisively influence
EU-Russia relations and there is nowadays hardly any aspect of these
relations that can be discussed without, directly or indirectly, taking
into account natural gas. But despite the central importance of Russian
natural gas exports in present-day European and Russian affairs, little
attention has been paid to the political and economic decisions that -
starting in the late 1960s - paved the way for large-scale imports of
Russian gas. Applying a systems and risk perspective on international
energy relations, author Per H�gselius investigates how and why
governments, businesses, engineers and other actors sought to promote - and
oppose - the establishment of an extensive East-West natural gas regime
that seemed to overthrow the fundamental logic of the Cold War.
