Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. A Research Agenda for International Energy Law offers a novel exploration into the future direction of research in international energy law, highlighting contemporary themes such as competition for investments, and fair and equitable access to energy. Utilising international and comparative law methodologies, leading experts examine the profound and urgent changes occurring in the energy sector, many of which are driven by the transition to more sustainable energy production, transport and end-use. Chapters provide discussions on the relationship between energy activities and international law, how the law adjusts to technological innovations, and the issues raised by the energy transition internationally. The book provides a holistic picture of current and future challenges in international energy law and areas for further research. This thought-provoking Research Agenda will be an essential resource for students and scholars in energy law and policy, trade law, environmental law and public international law more widely. The practical applications of the book will also be beneficial for policy-makers, practitioners and think-tanks.

Mitä jokaisen tulee tietää EU-oikeudesta? Teos antaa helposti avautuvan yleiskuvan EU:n oikeusjärjestelmästä ja sen toiminnasta tänä päivänä. Kirjassa käydään läpi EU:n instituutiot, EU-oikeuden oikeuslähteet ja tulkinta sekä toimivallanjako EU:n ja jäsenvaltioiden välillä. Perustan EU-oikeudelle luovat sopimukset Euroopan unionista (SEU) ja Euroopan unionin toiminnasta (SEUT). Teos pohtii myös EU-oikeuden ja kansallisen oikeuden suhdetta sekä jäsenvaltion vahingonkorvausvastuuta EU-oikeuden rikkomuksen nojalla. Kirjassa luodaan katsaus niin kutsutun aineellisen unionioikeuden pääpiirteisiin: Sisämarkkinaoikeuden osalta hahmotetaan niin kutsuttujen neljän perusvapauden tavaroiden, palveluiden, henkilöiden ja pääoman vapaan liikkuvuuden - periaatteita, ja kilpailuoikeuden osalta selkiytetään, mikä on määräävän markkina-aseman väärinkäyttöä ja mikä kiellettyä yritysten välistä yhteistyötä. Kirjassa perehdytään myös valtion tukea koskeviin säännöksiin ja sitä koskeviin menettelyihin. Lopuksi tarkastellaan sektorikohtaista lainsäädäntöä muun muassa EU:n ympäristö-, jäte- ja energia-oikeuden ja -politiikan perusteita ja luodaan näin kokonaiskuva unionioikeuden eri elementeistä. Avainasiat on teoksessa koottu nopeasti silmäiltäviksi tekstilaatikoiksi, jotka helpottavat ydinasioiden haltuunottoa. Teos on tärkeä työkalu erityisesti kaikille niille virkamiehille ja asiantuntijoille, joiden tulee työssään ymmärtää EU-oikeuden periaatteet. Teos soveltuu hyvin myös oppikirjaksi.

Research on the role of states and markets in the hydrocarbon sector is highly topical in contemporary International Political Economy. This edited collection will approach this subject from a broader perspective, investigating the very essence of the interaction between the state and the market and how this varies on a regional basis.

A critical overview of European Union energy law and policy, this book takes a law-in-context approach as it examines the development of EU energy law from the 1950s to the present day. It discusses the development of EU energy law; the application of general EU law into energy; the regulation of EU energy markets; international aspects of EU energy law; and policy, sustainability, and energy regulation. Presenting an up-to-date overview of EU energy law and policy and a critical analysis of its sub-areas, the book extends the discussion from electricity and natural gas markets to other areas of energy, including oil. This holistic approach to the subject is then placed within the broader context of the international geopolitical sphere which EU energy law and policy operates, as the author considers the impact of regional and international energy policies and markets on the EU markets and the overall EU policy. He also draws on the wider context and takes into account non-legal factors such as the impact of unconventionals, the rise of the BRICS, and the 'Arab spring'. The book frames EU energy law as a topic that can provoke intellectual, political, and professional discussion about the slowly moving train of economic regulation under the typical pressures and contradictions of countries and the European Union in the global economy.
