Title: Geopolitics of the Russo-Korean gas pipeline project and energy cooperation in Northeast Asia
Description: The Russo-Korean Gas Pipeline has raised much expectation but has not shown much progress to date. The initiative for a cooperative project connecting a gas pipeline with Russia has regularly attracted attention since the 1990s, while the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between South Korea and Russia in 2008 strengthened expectations of advances in the Russo- Korean gas pipeline project.
