"Last fall and winter [2001], as tensions increased in the Middle East and as speculation grew that the [George W.] Bush administration might extend the war on terrorism into Iraq, the world's news media began trumpeting Russia as a new power in global energy markets....The heightened media attention has raised the possibility that Russia could take on OPEC and help shift global oil supply away from the Middle East and Persian Gulf. Could Russia be poised to become an energy superpower in the 21st century? The short answer is yes, but not in the near future--and not in oil." (BROOKINGS REVIEW) This article discusses Russia's future as an energy superpower.
