Abstract:

If the Europeans are correct in their assertions, then the Yamal pipeline is small cause for alarm. If they are wrong,though, their mistake could be near fatal. Western Europe could be making itself a willing hostage to Kremlin whims. Where does the truth lie? Are Soviet intentions truly benign? Does a Norwegian option really exist? What is Europe's most prudent course?
