This study dissects the diplomacy and bargaining power of the transit country and the shifting economic relations involved in cross-border energy transportation. With frequent discoveries of energy resources in remote and undeveloped areas, the importance of transnational oil and gas pipelines is set to grow ever more prominent. This study dissects the diplomacy involved in cross-border energy transportation. Omonbude presents a unique analysis of the shifts in bargaining powers, and the increasingly powerful role played by the transit country in pipeline agreements.
