Democratization, globalization, and increased environmental
awareness have had a profound impact on the regulation of industry
in the energy and natural resources sector. This book analyses the
changes in character of the way this industry is regulated, and
seeks to make connections with theoretical perspectives on
regulation as a major part of the modern legal system. Part I
examines the emergence of alternatives to regulation, such as 'soft
law' in developing countries, the European Electricity and Gas
Directives of 1996 and 1998, the idea of regulation of company
structure as opposed to performance, multi-faceted government
alternative regulatory instruments, and market mechanics. Part II
analyses conventional methods of regulation, and how they have
evolved, including case studies from the Netherlands, the USA,
Singapore, New Zealand, and the UK. Part III looks at regulatory
innovations such as environmental audit, self-regulation, the
'Voluntary Action Plan', private-sector standard setting, and
certification. Part IV examines the role of non-state actors, and
their response to national and supranational regulatory changes,
and globalization. Recent shifts in the perception of energy
security, failures in energy company corporate governance, and
evolving self-regulatory frameworks renders this a timely and
worthy examination of the issues facing the energy and natural
resources industry today.
