| Energy policy -- European Union countriesAdditional Physical Form: Print version 9780198719595DDC classification: 333.79094 Online resources: Oxford scholarship online Summary: This work assesses the changing nature of the global political economy of energy and the European Union's response, as well as the external dimension of the regulatory state. It concludes that the EU's soft power has a hard edge, which is derived primarily from its regulatory power. This works best when it targets companies rather than governments, and it is more effective in the 'near abroad' than at the global level. This makes the EU emerge as an actor in its own right in the global political economy of energy - a 'regulatory power Europe'.
