This paper presents an exploratory review of publications dealing with past trends and projections concerned with energy in intra-CMEA relations.
The research should be useful in the identification of directions for IIASA's research on "Mineral Markets and Trade". I hope that the collection of materials presented here may also be looked upon as the first stage of a study of energy-related issues in intra-CMEA relations.
Due to the strict time-limit imposed on this work, it was not possible to review all of the non-CMEA publications listed in the bibliography. However, the main weakness of this research lies in the lack of information from CMEA countries. This could possibly be overcome by collaborating directly with institutes in CMEA countries. Without this information, this review should be regarded as an incomplete working draft
