Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine administered an unprecedented
shock to the European and global energy markets, triggering
emergency interventions and market reforms to limit the impact of
the crisis on energy prices and supply security. More
fundamentally, the supply shock sparked a profound reappraisal of
foreign supply and infrastructure dependencies (e.g. on China),
leading states to adopt new legal initiatives to strengthen the
resilience of their clean energy supply chains. Energy geopolitics
and supply security are now firmly back at the centre of global
energy policy, and in this new geopolitical reality, we critically
need to reassess the role of energy law in the creation - and
avoidance - of dangerous energy dependencies. Using the 2022 energy
crisis as core example, Energy Dependence and Supply Security
offers a legal analysis of energy trade and investment as a tool of
geopolitical power, an issue seldom considered outside of economic
statecraft and energy geopolitics. Anatole Boute's timely analysis
illustrates the paradox of energy law and security: legal
instruments of energy security have helped create the supply and
infrastructure dependencies that allowed for the weaponization of
energy. The book examines the legal responses adopted by the
European Union to the impact of the Russian energy shock,
reflecting on strategies to avoid similar disruptions in the clean
energy industry. In return, it proposes innovative supply security
reforms that would allow dependencies to be managed, while still
preserving the international collaboration that is needed to
accelerate the transition to clean, affordable, and secure energy
systems.
