This is the first handbook to provide a global policy perspective on energy, bringing together a diverse range of international energy issues in one volume.

• Maps the emerging field of global energy policy both for scholars and practitioners; the focus is on global issues, but it also explores the regional impact of international energy policies
• Accounts for the multi-faceted nature of global energy policy challenges and broadens discussions of these beyond the prevalent debates about oil supply
• Analyzes global energy policy challenges across the dimensions of markets, development, sustainability, and security, and identifies key global policy challenges for the future
• Comprises newly-commissioned research by an international team of scholars and energy policy practitioners
