    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the construction of competing pipelines for providing natural gas for Europe from Central Asia and the Caucasus. One pipeline does not pass through Russia, and is being championed by the European Union and the United States. The second, which is proceeding much more rapidly, was favored by former Russian president Vladimir Putin and passes through Easter Europe.
