The energy Complex

The main objective is to contribute to a wider understanding of the consequences of the Russian political and economic development on the “energy complex” as well as vice versa, that is the energy complex’ influence on politics and the economy.
The project will also contribute to the further development of Norwegian expertise linked to key factors concerning the political profile of the Russian energy complex as well as encourage cooperation between the five participating research institutions.

The project will be conducted over a three-year period and seeks to identify and analyze the interest and strategies of the most important actors within energy politics in Russia in a Post- Putin perspective. This will be done through discussions on the Russian energy complex and the political and economic development.
