"“This important monograph analyses and challenges the UK’s current and historical North Sea taxation policy and proposes an alternative optimum policy. In addition, it compares and contrasts UK policy with that of several other countries. It will be essential reading for researchers and scholars with interests in North Sea oil and gas exploitation.” Alexander Russell (Glasgow Caledonian University, UK)
