E-book Russian Energy Strategy in the Asia-Pacific : Implications for Australia

Given Australia’s lack of energy security strategy, it is not surprising that the country is void of institutional knowledge and know-how of Russian foreign energy strategy.

Australia has entered the 2020s as the world’s largest liquefi…
