Routledge Handbook of Energy Law
The Routledge Handbook of Energy Law provides a definitive global survey of the discipline of Energy Law, capturing the essential and relevant issues in Energy today. Each chapter is written by a leading expert, and provides a contemporary overview of a significant area within the field.

• Energy security and the role of markets

• Regulating shifts in traditional forms of energy
• Instruments in regulating disputes in energy
