'This is the most comprehensive treatment of the regulation of energy from an environmental perspective so far. The legal and economic logic of interventions in both the trade as well as the investment spheres is brought into light through the very competent writing of the author, who must also be complemented for expressing in a clear-cut understandable manner a very demanding topic. A book that no academic or practitioner working in this area can afford to overlook.' Petros C. Mavroidis, Edwin B. Parker Professor of Foreign and Comparative Law, Columbia Law School 'This book offers a groundbreaking perspective by interlinking energy policy with environmental legal principles. Shadikhodjaev's unique approach lies in merging these often distinct fields, providing new insights into how international legal frameworks can address environmental challenges arising from energy consumption. This pioneering analysis, which critically evaluates existing legal structures and proposes innovative solutions for integrating energy policies with environmental protection, marks a significant contribution to the evolving international legal narrative. Shadikhodjaev's work sets a precedent in the field, serving as a vital guide for future policy and legal development.'
