Sommario/riassunto

Diagoras of Melos (lyric poet, 5th c. B.C.) has received special attention for some time now because he was regarded as a radical atheist and the author of a prose work on atheism in antiquity. He was notorious for revealing and ridiculing the Eleusinian Mysteries and was condemned for impiety at Athens. The present book evaluates Diagoras’ biography and shows that he cannot be considered to have been an atheist in the modern sense.

Evolution of the global natural gas market -- Iran’s political system, institutions, and power structure -- Iran’s energy policy and energy decision making -- Iran’s contractual and legal framework for foreign investments -- International relations.

Sommario/riassunto

Maximilian Kuhn investigates one of the most pressing, yet neglected subjects in the field of global energy politics: the integration of the Iranian gas market. Possessing the world’s second-largest proven natural gas reserves, Iran is a hypothetical energy giant-in-waiting. Yet over three decades of internal divisions, coupled with crippling international sanctions, have left Iran unable to capitalize on its vast energy potential. Increasing global demand for natural gas and a government in constant need of finding new sources of revenue to meet the needs of a fast-growing population should lead Iran to eventually become a large-scale gas exporter. How this could take place and what the implications for global gas markets would be are the central research questions tackled by this study. The study allows a look beyond international politics, Iranian political decision-making,



investment laws, and pipeline games.   Contents ·         Evolution of the global natural gas market ·         Iran’s political system, institutions, and power structure ·         Iran’s energy policy and energy decision making ·         Iran’s contractual and legal framework for foreign investments ·         International relations   Target Groups ·         Lecturers, students and practitioners of political science, economics, law with a focus on energy ·         Executives and consultants from the energy sector, as well as public authorities   The Author Maximilian Kuhn is Chief Editor at the European Center for Energy and Resource Security (EUCERS), King’s College London and Lecturer at HULT International Business School, London (UK).
