Zusatztext This is an impressively broad! yet detailed! study of the external legal relations of the European Union (EU) with major energy-supplying countries. Although primarily a legal text! Sanam Salem Haghighi has succeeded in producing a book of much wider significance. Not content to provide a meticulous description of European law in the energy sphere! the author offers a carefully considered prescription for broadening out and improving EU external energy policy...a first-class contribution to the literature. Whilst functioning as a unified piece of work! the book will also serve as a useful reference guide. It is essential reading for students of EU energy law! but will also be of great value to anyone with a general interest in European energy security.
