""" Dr. Fatemeh Shayan offers an intriguing and innovative approach to examining energy cooperation. Her fact-rich discussion and careful analysis paint a comprehensive picture that is as educational as it is nuanced. Shayan does not follow an ideological script; rather she offers readers a multi-dimensional view of national and international natural gas regimes whilst masterfully dealing with the complexity of the material through clear organization. This is a must-read book for those who are interested in learning about the world of natural gas.""Roman Sidortsov, PhD, JD, LLM, Associate Professor of Energy Policy, Department of Social Sciences, Michigan Technological University"
