With the dissolution of the  country in 1991, the former Soviet republics are now exercising  complete control over their mining industries. The new Commonwealth of  Independent States (CIS) consists of several new nations, well-endowed  in hydrocarbons, metals, and industrial materials; efforts are now  underway to boost development activities and attract foreign  investment. Commonwealth members today are implementing policies to  regulate energy and mineral development and enhance economic  growth.\u003cbr\u003e  This book provides a comprehensive overview of the energy and minerals  industries of the CIS and other former Soviet republics outside the  Commonwealth. Prospects for international cooperation and trade in  hydrocarbons, metals, and nonmetals are examined, as are opportunities  for joint ventures and technology transfers in mining. Economic  relations between the CIS and several Asian nations are also analyzed.  Contributors to the book from throughout the Commonwealth, Asia,  Europe, and North America have a wide variety of backgrounds in the  energy and mineral fields, including government, academia, and  industry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401048897\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2012-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 368\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398557069452,"sku":"9789401048897","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401048897_accec772-7de1-408a-a7e0-14dbdb12cfeb.jpg?v=1775709927","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401048897","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
