1:As Russias largest oil and gas company, they need to have some protectionism measures to have things under control. I think that rising the protectionism includes measures to restrict the trade of good, and to an extent service. The gas disputes between these two countries refer to a number of disputes between Ukrainian oil and gas company Naftogaz Ukrainy and Russian gas supplier Gazprom over natural gas supplies, and price and also debts. These disputes have grown beyond simple business disputes into transnational political issues I think. Vladimir putin as the russian president have a big role in here. I think that the protectionism measures here is for russia to keep their price on the gas and dont give the gas for „free“ to some countries and also be careful to not lose something very useful for the whole Europe (in this case Ukraine because they have their pipeline built under Ukraine). The Ukrainian wanted and tried to have some „extra gas“ from the Russia or should i say „gas for lower price and some more by using the gas but dont paying for it by illegally taken out of the Ukrainian transit system“ because of the reason that the pipeline was in their country. The Ukrainan did this because of the economical issue they have in the country. They saw a way to fix it a little bit by taking some gas for free and also Russia paid them for having the pipeline throught their country. But this was not a good idea, because most of the other countries in Europe where mad at this and saw a problem in this because they dont get any gas which they need. And also Russia seen economical problems in this in a longer way. This because they payed Ukraine for using the pipeline over their country and also they lost gas on the way while it was transporting to other countries in Europe, and in the hardest way if they dont transit any gas to Europe they lose a big amount of money. And it could lead to an economical issue.

    Before the Industrialization, Russia's factories were unable to produce sufficient amounts of weapons, munitions, and machinery. Due to this Russia had fewer chances to win a battle or protect its territories against intruders. Later they would find out in the Crimean War that they would need to Industrialize which would make the government spend more money on weapons and machinery.

    CASE DESCRIPTION The primary subject matter of this case concerns the management of international joint ventures. Secondary issues examined include: business in Russia; government’s intervention in business and how it affects multinational companies; market entry and modes of market entry decisions;; and dimensions and elements of culture (Fang 2003). The case has a difficulty level appropriate for first or second year graduate level. The case is designed to be taught in one class hour and is expected to require one hour of outside preparation by students. CASE SYNOPSIS BP, one of the largest publicly listed oil companies in the world, had been operating in Russia since 1997, initially through minority stakes in Russian oil companies and, since 2003, through TNK-BP, a 50-50 joint venture with AAR, a consortium of Russian investors. This joint venture allowed BP access to extensive oil reserves in Russia and was one of BP’s most valuable assets, accounting for 25% of BP’s production in 2007. In 2008, BP and its partners in TNK-BP encountered serious disagreements about how to run the company. A string of government actions including raids by the Russian tax police on both BP and TNK-BP’s offices in Russia concluded with the cancelation of TNK-BP’s British CEO’s work visa by Russian immigration authorities. Although BP and its partners reached an agreement in principle to renew the board of TNK-BP and appoint a new CEO in December 2008, by February 2009 they had not been able to appoint a Chief Executive acceptable to both parties. INTRODUCTION In May 2009 TNK-BP, a 50-50 joint venture between BP, one of the major western oil companies, and Alfa Access/Renova, a…

    Chechnya Research Paper

    Chechnya is a region in southern Russia that, like many other regions in Russia, is home to a non-Caucasian ethnic group. As in many other ethnic struggles, the Chechens want freedom from Russia. The main reason the Russian government is reluctant to give up the land in Chechnya is because of a very valuable natural resource that is located in the region. That resource is oil, which is rapidly becoming one of the world's most valuable substances, due to the fear that the world could run out of it in the near future. There are numerous pipelines that run through Chechnya and if the Chechens were granted autonomy Russia fears that it would lose the control over those pipelines. In fact Chechens have already started refining the oil and selling it on the street. Russia occupied Chechnya under the guise of fighting terrorism and human rights violations. The war is even losing the support of native Russians, who are beginning to notice the various cruel tactics performed by the…

    For more than two centuries, Russia and the United States have shared a diplomatic relationship. Whether that involved trading or the military. Foreign relations between the former Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex set of ideologies, political agendas, and economic factors, which led to the superpower rivalry that has been on display over the past two-hundred years. Presidents from both nations have been involved, from President Ronald Reagan to most recently, President Barack Obama. For Russia, the most well-known leader was Vladimir Putin, the “geopolitical wrecking ball.”…

    The global supply of energy is concentrated within the 12 OPEC countries. (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries). These countries hold a vast amount of the world’s oil and gas reserves with 81% of proven oil reserves and 49% of proven gas reserves. The aim of the organisation is to unify petroleum policies so that there is a steady supply of energy to consumers, and a steady income for themselves- the producer. OPEC sets production targets for its member nations and generally, when OPEC production targets are reduced, oil prices increase. This was clearly seen in the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo against the US and the West in response to the US’s involvement in the Yom Kippur war against Egypt. The OPEC countries prohibited trade with the USA, UK, Japan, Canada and the Netherlands. It caused the price of oil to rocket, and many countries went in to depression. This shows the importance of cooperation between OPEC member states, as their decisions can affect the price of energy. Furthermore, it emphasises the importance of countries such as the USA cooperating with oil producing countries such as the OPEC countries where energy has been used as a source of power.…

    1. Russia is a major exporter of oil and natural gas, and its economic growth over the past decade has been driven primarily by energy exports. In recent weeks, the price of crude oil has been increasing rapidly amid fears that political tension in the oil exporting countries may potentially disrupt energy supplies. Everything else being equal, how would the increase in oil price affect the value of Russian ruble? Note that oil prices are set on the global market. [4 points]…

    Russia is a country where there is lots of space, but there aren't many people occupying it. The communication in Russia is not very good because it is a really big country that had no way of defending itself. The government and the barriers that kept other countries from staying out of Russia did not work as much because they still couldn’t prevent invasions in their territory. The ending of World War I led to the deadline of the tsarist rule, which marked the beginning of a civil war. Vladimir Lenin and his party (Bolshevik), in 1920 he planted a communist rule which would administer the country of Russia for 71 years. The Russian country was always invaded by other neighbors (countries.) But Russia defended themselves by using two different types of methods. The first method was to abandon territories which they would back away, which forced the invaders to carry on all their supply, by leaving them out in really bad weather. The second method was to make the invaders use their ammo, by bringing out soldiers. But from the 1850’s - 1900’s, the force upon improvement did rise up. But they didn’t know to improve. There was a barrier between people which supported human rights and other that wanted something different. Commanding for improvement moved on between the 1860’s and the 1870’s. Slavery was was put at an end, and systems of courts by judges were set up. But…

    Vladimir Putin did not allow to run for his third presidential terms by the Russian Constitution. Putin wanted to remain in politics, so he ran for prime minister of Russia instead. Even though Putin was not the president, he was still regarded as the main power in Russia by guiding Russia’s development throughout his year as prime minister. During his time as prime minister, he lower the consumption of alcohol in Russia. After four years as prime minister, he decided to rerun for president in 2012. Vladimir Putin won the election and was named president of Russia again. Many people in his country was against him as they protested during his campaign. The Russian citizens believed that he was corrupted because of all the power that he had in his past terms. During his first year in his third terms, he signed laws that banned United States citizens from adopting Russian children, banned civic groups funded by the United States from operating in Russia, and banned gay people from giving children educational materials about homosexuality. In 2014, Putin played a big role in the Crimean Crisis as Putin “committed to preserving Russia’s territorial integrity” (McFaul). The Crimean Crisis first started when the president of Ukraine wanted to develop closer economic ties with Russia. This caused tension in Crimea as pro-Russian and pro-Western Ukrainians started to…

    In January 2006, Russia cut off supply of gas to Ukraine. The European Union (EU), dependent on gas from Russia, delivered through Ukraine, realized the full extent of its vulnerability in the realm of energy security and a need, more pressing now than ever, for a common energy policy. Shortages of energy carry implications not only for domestic producers and consumers, but also for external security of the EU, for energy becomes a strong bargaining chip for Russia who can easily exert pressure on the EU members—especially those who do not possess their own supplies and whose energy sources are not diversified.…

    In our opinion two theories of trade help to explain Russia’s position, namely theory of absolute advantage and competitive advantage. “A country has a natural advantage in producing a product or service because of climatic conditions, access to certain natural resources, or availability of certain labor forces” (Daniels 221). Russia has became one of the countries with the largest oil reserves in the world, which makes the country to have a natural advantage due this natural resource availability. Furthermore, the diamond of national advantage is other theory that supports Russia’s position as an oil exporter. Given that demand conditions for Russia’s oil are advantageous, “so lucrative is its business in gas and oil that petroleum export taxes have allowed the government to pay off all foreign debt incurred” (Daniels 246), factors conditions are acceptable given that organizations such as LUKOIL are working to improve its technology base (Daniels 248,249). Also, related and supporting industries and firms’ strategy, and structure and rivalry are other facet of the diamond helping Russia to achieve national advantage (Daniels 235, 236). At last, interventionist theories does not help to explain Russia’s position as an oil exporter, because Russia’s economy is based on free trade theories. Neither, product life cycle applies because Russia’s oil does not go over a life cycle. At last, the Theory of Country size does not apply either, because Russia’s economy depends highly on oil exports “If the price per barrel of oil shifts by so much as $1, Russian revenues shift by about $1.4 billion in the same direction” (Daniels…

    Europeans should be concerned about the implications of the economic sanctions being pushed by Washington on Putin’s Russia. Russia’s not so secret weapon in Ukraine’s crisis is gas, and it is an economic weapon that could be aimed both at an unruly West Ukraine and at the EU. In effect, 30 percent of the natural gas used by the EU is Russian, and 60 percent of it transits in a pipeline through Ukraine. Ukraine itself imports 60 percent of its gas from Russia. With the powerful gas supply issue, Russia can easily put the squeeze on the 28 EU members. While only 15 percent of gas used in France is Russian, in Baltic countries it is 100 percent. Something to think about before getting “tough” on Russia.…
