Dynamics of energy governance in Europe and Russia / Ed. by Caroline Kuzemko, Andrei V. Belyi, Andreas Goldthau and Michael F. Keating. Palgrave Macmillan, March 2012, 312 p. ISBN 9780230307902, £40 (International Political Economy Series)http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?pid=522015Energy in Europe and Russia is in flux. The authors address key issues in this context and seek to analyze contemporary transition processes in the region's energy sector. They look at whether and how transnational policy mechanisms can generate sufficient steering capacity to address pressing energy policy issues, including environmental concerns, energy transit or rapidly changing natural gas markets. Moreover, they explore the impact climate change concerns have on policy making in the energy sector and to what extent market mechanisms provide for answers to these issues. Instead of taking a geopolitical or neoliberal approach, this energy policy debate acknowledges the strong interdependence of global, regional and domestic influences on the processes.
