Abstract

The out-dated multidimensional acumen of foreign policy has now been replaced by energy policy and energy politics which has created stringent competition among the great powers. Therefore, in a world of strategic inflexibilities, political incompatibilities and escalating economic inconsistencies, the energy resources have predominantly become principle instruments of conflict. The study of Marin Katusa The Colder War: How the Global Energy Trade Slipped from America’s Grasp is a commendable attempt to comprehend the contemporary trends of American-Russian energy cemented enmity.
