Yergin and Gustafson present a vision of Russia's future as it makes the transition to capitalism and democracy--and how events there will affect the rest of the world. Based on a report by Cambridge Energy Research Associates, a consulting firm which advises major corporations around the world on investment in Russia, Russia 2010 explores three histories of the future for Russia over the next two decades, and the consequences of each scenario for the United States and other countries. Yergin and Gustafson provide insight into emerging power relationships, the local wars that could turn into broader conflicts, and the opportunities and pitfalls facing the new Russia.
