What are the component parts of successful energy law and policy in the twenty-first century?Energy law and policy is now, in the 21st century, undoubtedly a crucial component in the functioning of economies worldwide. Containing the effects of climate change through reducing carbon dioxide emissions is one of the greatest challenges of our modern world. However, many countries are currently struggling to construct effective energy policy that will deliver the energy infrastructure needed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.This book has at its core a focus on the development and formulation of energy law and policy in civil nuclear energy. The aim is to deconstruct the constituent parts of effective energy law and policy within a complex and often controversial energy industry and to provide lessons to improve the delivery of the central aims of law and policy, focusing on a deconstruction of what has and has not worked.Key Features•This is the first book that deconstructs energy law and policy•Informs the readers on the component parts of successful energy law and policy•Offers new ideas that can be applied in the future•Uses nuclear energy sector as an example, the most complex of energy sources•The nuclear energy sector has a broad appeal to the public, to think-tanks and to a whole range of academicsRaphael Heffron is a qualified lawyer and Lecturer in Law at the University of Leeds and Associate Researcher at the Energy Policy Research Group, University of Cambridge.
