Summary

The introduction to this book sets out its objectives: it offers an in-depth study of energy regulation in international trade law against the backdrop of energy markets that have radically changed over recent decades. In Part I, through a thorough discussion of the concepts, history and law of various legal frameworks applicable to international energy trade, it seeks to clarify what we mean by ‘energy’ in the context of international trade rules. Part II addresses the relationship between the existing rules and the huge challenges faced by energy markets today – notably, their decentralization and decarbonization – in the light of the ongoing quest for energy security. Through several case studies, it demonstrates that current international rules are often unable to meet the challenges faced by today’s changing energy.
