Biography
Maciej M. Sokołowski is a Doctor of Law and a President of the ABC Institute. He was granted the Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship at the University of Basel (Europa Institute), the Swedish Institute Visby Programme Scholarship at the University of Gothenburg (School of Business, Economics and Law), and the Shanghai Municipal Government Scholarship at the Shanghai University.
"Sokołowski ’s book is an excellent read for the student of regulation of electricity markets in the EU and beyond. Sokołowski provides the student of electricity market regulation with the intellectual and theoretical foundations of market theory and liberalisation. Only once one has understood the debate between the state and the market can one begin to comprehend why electricity markets have been liberalised and the regulatory format they have taken. Of most importance, Sokołowski is successful at distilling each concept he introduces into their constituent parts to properly delve into concepts such as public law regulation in the electricity sector."
