      abstract = {Maximilian Kuhn investigates one of the most pressing, yet  neglected subjects in the field of global energy politics:  the integration of the Iranian gas market. Possessing the  worlds second-largest proven natural gas reserves, Iran is  a hypothetical energy giant-in-waiting. Yet over three  decades of internal divisions, coupled with crippling  international sanctions, have left Iran unable to  capitalize on its vast energy potential. Increasing global  demand for natural gas and a government in constant need of  finding new sources of revenue to meet the needs of a  fast-growing population should lead Iran to eventually  become a large-scale gas exporter. How this could take  place and what the implications for global gas markets  would be are the central research questions tackled by this  study. The study allows a look beyond international  politics, Iranian political decision-making, investment  laws, and pipeline games. Contents Evolution of the global  natural gas market Irans political system, institutions,  and power structure Irans energy policy and energy decision  making Irans contractual and legal framework for foreign  investments International relations Target Groups  Lecturers, students and practitioners of political science,  economics, law with a focus on energy Executives and  consultants from the energy sector, as well as public  authorities.},
