The Instruments of Sustainable Development Applied to the Northern Territories of Oil and Gas Production
In this thesis the main attention was paid to the influence of oil and gas production in the northern regions impacting on the environment and the socio-economic sphere, and to the identification of instruments for sustainable development of these regions. Today the Arctic is a prospective region in...
