IntroductIon Jonathan Stern This is the first academic book in any language to be entirely devoted to the pricing of internationally traded gas. The majority of books on gas are notably silent on the issue of pricing.1 Given the sizeable amount of research dealing with international oil prices, this is extremely surprising and would alone be sufficient justification for this work, but there are additional reasons for believing that such a volume is long overdue. First, the growing importance of natural gas in energy balances world- wide, which is partly a function of the expansion of international gas trade. Second the rise to prominence and importance of natural gas issues – and especially pricing issues – in energy and political relations between countries.
