Through empirical studies in domestic and foreign policy contexts, Veli-Pekka Tynkkynen explores the development of a hydrocarbon culture in Russia and the impact this has on its politics, identity and approach to climate change and renewable energy. Cogent and compelling, this book demonstrates how the Russian state leverages its oil and gas reserves in order to create and maintain power both domestically and internationally. Tynkkynen uses empirical studies of key topics such as the national gas programme Gazprom, the Arctic, climate discourse and anthropogenic climate change denial, and the Russia-Finland energy trade to critically examine the situation. The book concludes with a convincing argument for the potential of renewable energy to build a more resilient and sustainable future for Russia and how this might be achieved. This will prove crucial reading for scholars and students of Russian and Eastern European studies and energy and environmental studies, as well as geographers, anthropologists and political scientists. Those working in governments, international organizations and corporations with an interest in Russian energy will also find its insights useful"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEnergy policy$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aHydrocarbons 610 $aSpatiality 610 $aClimate Change 610 $aEnergy 610 $aEnergy superpower 610 $aHydrocarbon culture 610 $aRussia 615 0$aEnergy policy 615 0$aHydrocarbons. 676 $a333.790947 700 $aTynkkynen$b Veli-Pekka$01351843 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688570703321 996 $aThe energy of Russia$93136474 997 $aUNINA
