The Gas Troika on the European Gas Market delves into the assessment of the energy policy of the Gas Troika Organization (GTO), comprising Russia, Iran, and Qatar, as they operated in the European gas market (EGM) between 2008 and 2015. This comprehensive book focuses on examining the interests, policies, and frameworks of the GTO members, as well as the enabling and constraining factors they encountered within the European market.

The energy policies of the GTO members are explored in the context of natural gas extraction, distribution, export to European countries, and the environmental implications of these contracts. The central questions addressed in this pioneering study include:

How do the GTO members develop their interests and energy policies in the European environment?
How do the common interests and policies of the GTO members explain the framework of the organization in the EGM?
How is this organization perceived and assessed as a semi-coherent regional entity?

To provide a multi-disciplinary assessment, the book employs a social structuration theoretical framework, considering geographical resources, economy, international relations, and environmental dimensions. This book is of immense value to researchers in energy economics and political sciences, as well as energy analysts and consultants.
