Erdöl, Erdgas und Kohle aus Russland sind heute fester Bestandteil der europäischen Energieversorgung. Zugleich polarisiert die Expansion russischer Öl- und Gaskonzerne. Einige Beobachter sehen in den Akteuren kommerzielle Spieler, die vorrangig wirtschaftliche Interessen verfolgen. Andere unterstellen, dass mit wirtschaftlicher Kontrolle und Verflechtung außenpolitische Ziele verfolgt werden. Der fehlende Konsens ist dabei auch auf Begrifflichkeiten zurückzuführen, die einen Dialog beider Perspektiven erschweren. Die vorliegende Studie entwickelt eine Methodik, mit der sich sowohl die wirtschaftliche als auch die außenpolitische Funktion der Konzerne analysieren lässt. Ihre Motivationen und Instrumente werden anhand von 40 Projekten in neun Ländern empirisch analysiert. Das Buch zeigt auf, wie Machtstruktur, Reformfähigkeit und das Investitionsverhalten von Unternehmen zusammenhängen.

As the deregulation of European utility markets has progressed, the dynamics of and the competitive pressure in the utility industries have steadily intensified over recent years. These changes in the regulatory framework have caused a shift in the direction of an integrated market environment, resulting in new challenges for the management of power and gas companies and a substantial need for strategic reorientation. The Handbook Utility Management is concerned with these changes and challenges in the utility industries and emerging managerial issues of high practical relevance. Inclusion of the latest insights into the economic, technological, and legal drivers of the diverse value chain activities makes the Handbook a valuable asset for both professionals and researchers.

This book is a study on the Japanese city gas industry, which has been rapidly liberalized in recent years. Especially, it focuses on the background, reasons, methods, and effects of the privatization of publicly owned city gas utilities in Japan. In Japan, after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the liberalization of the electric power and gas business has progressed rapidly. There are a number of studies on the reform of Japan's electricity market, but there are few studies on city gas business. This book describes the state of Japan's public city gas utilities and the necessity of their privatization. And it explains the role of concession as a method of privatization. Then it verifies that the effects of past privatization cases are insufficient. The book also covers deregulation of public utilities in Europe, which triggered Japan's liberalization of its energy and other public utility sectors, and privatization of electricity and gas businesses in India, a developing country in Asia. Finally, this book explores future regulation and business of city gas industry. Pipeline network should be regulated to comply with future unbundling starting from 2022, and gas business altogether with electricity and water businesses need more digitization. .

This paper examines the level and structure of fiscal revenues from the Baltics, Russia, and other former Soviet Union countries’ (BRO) energy sector and suggests reforms in energy tax policy. Revenues from the oil and gas sectors are about half the level that might be expected from international comparisons. Low oil revenues result from infrastructure constraints on oil exports, weak tax administration, and inappropriate tax structures. Low gas revenues are due to low statutory tax rates, a tax structure that does not capture monopoly or resource rents, and weak tax administration. Taxation of oil products could be increased.
