Summary:

"This edited collection focuses on the impact of the changing global distribution of power on the EU's energy policy and ability to project its approach to energy-related issues abroad. It maps the EU's energy governance, its changing global position and the impact of various factors on its capacity to pursue its interests in the field of energy. It also provides insights into the internal and external energy policy of the EU, and explores how various EU institutions shape energy policy. It examines, moreover, the state of the EU's relations with its external energy suppliers, such as Russia, and with other global energy actors, such as China, the main global consumer of energy; with the USA, which is going through a technologically-driven energy revolution; and with Brazil, which may become a key global energy player"--Back cover.
