Wheel of Fortune provides an authoritative account of this vital industry from the last years of communism to its uncertain future. Tracking the interdependence among Russia's oil industry, politics, and economy, Thane Gustafson shows how the stakes extend beyond international energy security to include the potential threat of a destabilized Russia. Gustafson, a leading consultant and analyst of the politics of energy in the former Soviet Union, draws on interviews with key players over the course of two decades to provide a detailed history of the oil industry's evolution since the breakup of the Soviet Union. At its center is the complex and fraught relationship between the oil industry and the state, which loosened its grip under Yeltsin only to tighten it again under Putin. As oil becomes harder to find and more expensive to produce and deliver, Gustafson warns, Russia's growing dependence on revenue from oil exports, along with its inefficient and often-corrupt management of the industry, is unsustainable. A rich but troubled Soviet legacy, the conflicting ambitions of politicians and industry oligarchs, and the excesses of capitalism Russian-style threaten to lead Russia to an impasse. Involving the oil industry in the country's modernization agenda and remaking its relationship to the state, Gustafson argues, is Russia's best path toward a stable economy and a safer world. 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xGovernment policy$zRussia (Federation) 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xGovernment policy 676 $a338.2/7280947 700 $aGustafson$b Thane$0141672 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811947403321 996 $aWheel of fortune$94014576 997 $aUNINA
