The Influence of Hydrocarbons on Russian Foreign Policies as a Mean of Cooperation or Coercion.
Author
: Cyrille Gloaguen is a doctoral research fellow with the French Institute of Geopolitics (University of Paris 8, Saint-Denis). Hydrocarbon economics and policies weigh heavily on Russian home policy and international relations. Both instrumental and instrumented, raw material and hydrocarbon exports make Russia a key geostrategic player on the world's chessboard. The semiotics of these fluctuations shade some light on forces at work in home and regional matters. Cyrille Gloaguen here presents an intertextual approach into the dynamics of this subject, the problematics of which has recently been surfacing in the Western media.
