| Abstract: | During the years of 1979-1984 the Soviet authorities and various coalitions of Western European companies negotiated several agreements to provide credit and equipment for the building of a 3500 mile long gas pipeline between Northern Central Siberia and Western Europe. Because of that business history was intimately mixed with geopolitics and corporate commercial and industrial tactics were challenged by diplomatic ethics. This article reconstitutes the numerous lobbying circuits as a way to determine the potential freedom of action of day-to-day business when confronted with high-level politics. |
