This book takes stock of these developments, evaluating how much progress has actually been made and what remains to be done, what factors explain these recent advances and their limitations, and what obstacles stand in the way of establishing a truly common EU energy policy. Chapters by experts on different aspects of EU and European energy policy address the full range of relevant topics, including each important policy area, the perspectives of critical EU member states, and how much recent developments contribute to the achievement of the traditional goals of energy policy."-- Provided by publisher.
