Abstract/Description:

This is the first ever research handbook on the energy law and policy of the European Union (EU). It is intended to be a reference work of high-quality original contributions, providing a state-of-the-art snapshot of this rapidly evolving area, situated within the broader context of international economic law and governance. The coverage of the handbook has been deliberately made as wide as possible, spanning a breathtaking variety of topics and developments in the EU’s law and policies regarding energy, fully acknowledging the multi-faceted and multi-layered nature of this vast arena. In order to make the handbook user friendly, we have divided it into four thematic parts. Part I (Chapters 2–5) deals with the institutional aspects of EU energy law and policy. Part II (Chapters 6–12) concerns their external aspects. Economic, social and legal aspects are covered in Part III (Chapters 13–21). Last, but not least, in Part IV (Chapters 22–28) environmental and technological aspects are dealt with.
