First published in 1987, Siberia examines the developments in the different sectors of Siberian economy and discusses the role of this vast and little-known region in the Soviet Union’s overall economic and defence strategy. It surveys historical developments and the geography of the region and focuses on the key problem areas such as manpower shortage, the difficulties involved in exploiting the territory’s natural resources, internal communications – including the construction of the Baikal-Amur Railway in the Far East- and considers Siberia’s place in the context of international relations and the world economy. This book is a must read for scholars of Russian history, Russian geopolitics, European politics, international relations and European history.
