A Norwegian political scientist and Russian advisor to regional authorities in West Siberia, both long-time analysts of the Russian oil and gas industries, examine the role played by hydrocarbon resources in the evolving power-sharing relationship between Russia's regions and the Russian Federation Government in Moscow. A specific focus is on the country's leading oil- and gas-producing regions—the Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamal-Nenets autonomous okrugs, respectively, with coverage extending to the fall of 1998. Implications of changing power relations between the regions and new trans-regional oil and gas companies are investigated as well.
