Synopsis

This book examines the history and prospects of the European energy sector for the last twenty-five and the next twenty-five years. The authors' analysis is rooted in a careful examination of the factors that have shaped energy in Europe over the last quarter-century: its regulatory systems, its corporate structures, and its regulatory and environmental structures. They conclude that whatever major changes may occur, the structures of the twentieth century are not going to yield easily to economic internationalization, nor to political environmentalism.
