БЫТЬ ИЛИ НЕ БЫТЬ: ГАЗОВЫЙ АЛЬЯНС

Abstract

The paper deals with possibility to establish an institutional organization for study and forecast of demand and price setting for gas; being previously a utopia, such an organization gradually becomes a business concept. Particular emphasis is given to the role of Russia in establishment and participation in the gas alliance. Ways and prospects of participation of new member countries of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum have been considered as some gas consumers gradually come to understanding of importance to coordinate activities in terms of fuel supply to external markets. </div>
