The global market for oil and gas resources is rapidly changing.
Three major trends --the rise of new consumers, the increasing
influence of state players, and concerns about climate change --are
combining to challenge existing regulatory structures, many of
which have been in place for a half-century. "Global Energy
Governance" analyzes the energy market from an institutionalist
perspective and offers practical policy recommendations to deal
with these new challenges.
Much of the existing discourse on energy governance deals with
hard security issues but neglects the challenges to global
governance. "Global Energy Governance" fills this gap with
perspectives on how regulatory institutions can ensure reliable
sources of energy, evaluate financial risk, and provide emergency
response mechanisms to deal with interruptions in supply.
The authors bring together decisionmakers from industry,
government, and civil society in order to address two central
questions:
-What are the current practices of existing institutions
governing global oil and gas on financial markets?
-How do these institutions need to adapt in order to meet the
challenges of the twenty-first century?
The resulting governance-oriented analysis of the three
interlocking trends also provides the basis for policy
recommendations to improve global regulation.
