Policy learning or politics as usual? Explaining the rise and retrenchment of renewable electricity support policies in Europe
I assess the contribution of policy learning to changes in renewable energy support policies in the European Union (EU), focusing on the evolution of the ‘Feed-in Tariff’ in Germany and the United Kingdom, considering both ‘endogenous’ (responses to the effects of existing policy within the country) and ‘exogenous’ (responses based on external experience of the policy) learning in shaping the design and operation of the mechanism as policy shifte…
Regulating innovation
The interplay between regulation and innovation is examined through the case of the development of shale gas, by comparing the regulatory context that facilitated the diffusion of shale gas techniques (in the United States) with the responses to its potential development in different European settings (the national cases of Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Poland and the EU institutions). The US regime has favoured its development, t…
Putting Energy Insecurity into Historical Context
Recent discussions on the development of European Union (EU) energy policy have become dominated by a discourse of insecurity relating to the questions of energy dependence and relations with energy suppliers, echoing the debate during the energy crises of the 1970s. This article compares the two periods, analysing the way in which the EU (and the European Community in the 1970s) reacted to disruptions to energy supply. The article critically app…
Can the European Union’s Market Liberalism Ensure Energy Security in a Time of ‘Economic Nationalism’
The EU’s higher profile in energy policy matters is arguably due to the increased importance of market liberalisation as a policy objective over the last twenty years. Given the EU’s own competences in the internal market and competition policy, the European Commission has accordingly been able to play a more active role in energy policy-making. Moreover it has been active in extending this approach to its energy relations with its neighbours as …

Towards a European regulatory state
This article explains why regulation has come to the fore as an instrument in contemporary policy‐making in many European states, as well as within the European Union (EU). On the basis of case study material, it considers whether some of the traditional problems associated with regulation, specifically those of regulatory capture and of implementation gaps, have arisen in the case of EU regulation. Drawing on the experience of the Eftan states a…

Procurement in European power plant
The heavy electrical industry is undergoing an unprecedented period of change. The world market for power station equipment is shifting from the protected home markets of the largest developed countries to the developing world where competition is often more open. Within the traditional markets, pressures such as structural change in the electricity supply industry and the impact of trade liberalization threaten to increase competitive pressures …
