"This book explores the contribution that international economic law generally defined make to the rule of law at national and international levels. The contributions of this book either: (i) examine particular features of the rule of law from a viewpoint of the contribution (at international or domestic legal level) that international economic law makes to these features, such as accountable institutions, clarity, judicial review, non-discrimination, predictability, and transparency, as well as the respect of fundamental rights, democracy, and substantive justice; or (ii) make case-studies of countries whose legislation and governmental practice show a correlation -- or a lack thereof -- between international economic law, on the one hand, and the rule of law, on the other hand."-- Provided by publisher

This timely book explores the external dimension of the European Union's (EU) energy law and policy. In doing so, it provides an analysis of the EU's competences in the energy field, the Energy Community and its relation to EU energy policy, the energy relations between the EU and two major energy regions (Russia and the Gulf Cooperation Council), and the EU's participation in energy treaties.Edited by Rafael Leal-ArcasContributors Lauri Lamberechts, Geert Van Engelgem, Eva Nullens, Mateusz Ryś, Claudia Gómez-Valadés y González, Marjolein Robert, Linde Moons, Tessa Van den Bossche, Natalie Van Boven, Clara Thiry, Jade Lefevere, Veronique Slegers.
