Bridge

Europe and Russia are pushing against each other in a contest of economic doctrines and political ambitions, seemingly erasing the vision of cooperation that emerged from the end of the Cold War. Thane Gustafson argues that natural gas serves as a bridge over troubled geopolitical waters, uniting the region through common economic interests.

Europa si Rusia se imping reciproc intr-un concurs de doctrine economice si ambitii politice, stergand aparent viziunea cooperarii aparuta de la sfarsitul Razboiului Rece. Thane Gustafson sustine ca gazele naturale servesc drept pod peste apele geopolitice tulburate, unind regiunea prin interese economice comune.
