Details

This thoroughly revised second edition presents a comprehensive overview of the most important contemporary research in EU energy law and policy. The Research Handbook brings together a diverse array of experts, highlighting the multifaceted nature of this continually developing field.

Divided into four broad thematic areas, the book considers in turn the various elements of EU energy law and policy, namely its institutional, external, economic, social, legal, environmental, and technological aspects. New chapters in this second edition discuss the EU’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, India-EU relations, EU-Gulf cooperation, and the importance of energy trade agreements for the recognition of environmental refugees. Presenting cutting-edge research on the major energy policy challenge which the EU will face in the coming years, this Research Handbook expertly situates the field of energy law and policy in the broader context of international economic law and governance.

The Research Handbook on EU Energy Law and Policy, Second Edition will continue to be a vital reference for legal academics, students, and scholars in energy law and policy. It is also of practical interest to lawyers, economists, and policymakers working in related fields such as climate change, international trade, and sustainability management.
