Research Handbook On Energy Law And Ethics

This Research Handbook offers crucial ethical perspectives on navigating the increasingly complex and contested landscape of contemporary energy law. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it brings together diverse scholarship and expertise from academia, international organizations, legal practice and the judiciary to address wide-ranging issues linking energy and law to ethical drivers such as wealth, peace and war, development, climate change, and use and abuse of natural resources.

International energy law is an elusive but important concept. There is no body of law called Šinternational energy law�, nor is there any universally accepted definition for it, yet many specialised areas of international law have a direct relationship

This authoritative Research Handbook presents, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of the most important research and latest trends in EU energy law and policy. It offers high-quality original contributions that provide state-of-the-art research in this rapidly evolving area, situated in the broader context of international economic law and governance.

This thoroughly revised second edition presents a comprehensive overview of the most important contemporary research in EU energy law and policy. The Research Handbook brings together a diverse array of experts, highlighting the multifaceted nature of this continually developing field. Divided into four broad thematic areas, the book considers in turn the various elements of EU energy law and policy, namely its institutional, external, economic, social, legal, environmental, and technological aspects. New chapters in this second edition discuss the EU's response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, India-EU relations, EU-Gulf cooperation, and the importance of energy trade agreements for the recognition of environmental refugees. Presenting cutting-edge research on the major energy policy challenge which the EU will face in the coming years, this Research Handbook expertly situates the field of energy law and policy in the broader context of international economic law and governance. The Research Handbook on EU Energy Law and Policy: Second Edition will continue to be a vital reference for legal academics, students, and scholars in energy law and policy. It is also of practical interest to lawyers, economists, and policymakers working in related fields such as climate change, international trade, and sustainability management.

This authoritative Research Handbook offers wide-ranging coverage of both traditional and emerging topics dealing with the regulation of ocean space and highlights the key academic debates around ocean governance. It provides a formidable interface between the 1982 UNCLOS Convention and the international law regulating ocean governance, while influencing its further evolution through suggestions for future research in the field.

Climate change is causing traditional political and legal concepts to be revisited. The emergence of a global polity through physical, economic and social interaction demands global responses which should be founded upon new principles and which cannot simply be modelled on traditional constitutionalism centred on the nation-state. This Research Handbook explores how to build this climate constitutionalism at a global level, starting from the narrative of Anthropocene and its implications for law. It provides a critical approach to global environmental constitutionalism, analysing the problems of sustainability and global equity which are entwined with the causes and consequences of climate change. The Handbook explores how to develop constitutional discourses and strategies to address these issues, and thereby tackle the negative effects of climate change whilst also advancing a more sustainable, equitable and responsible global society.

Energy Law: A Context and Practice Casebook offers a comprehensive and practical introduction to energy law. The book is designed to support an energy survey course and provides a practical overlay to each topic, with "practice notes" placed throughout the text. The book will support a law school's only energy law course, as well as an energy law foundations course that can serve as a prerequisite to more specific energy courses. This book is structured by industry sector, the way such issues are often confronted in practice, rather than by natural resource, which has historically been the educational approach. The topics begin with an introduction to key vocabulary, and students are provided with a variety of client issues (including ethical consideration) to examine as they read the course materials. This approach follows the way practicing lawyers tend to learn about new areas of the law: when they have a client need. The course materials are widely varied, from cases and statutes to agency materials and private company research. The book also includes sections of contracts, a complaint, and an employment agreement pulled from SEC materials. The book chapters are: Introduction to Energy Law; The Business of Energy Law; Minerals and Mineral Rights: Coal, Oil & Gas; Electricity and Related Resources (including coal, natural gas, hydropower, and renewables); Economic Regulation and Market Structure; Energy and Environmental Regulation and Policies (including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act & Renewable Portfolio Standards); Climate Change; and The Unique Nature of Transportation. This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.
