"Politics, Markets and EU Gas Supply Security" by Sandu-Daniel Kopp offers an in-depth analysis of the challenges arising from carbon reduction goals and market regulation in the gas and energy sector. The author examines the compatibility between competitive markets and energy supply security. By considering the political and economic dimensions of energy policy in the EU, it becomes clear that existing political strategies often do not provide the necessary protection against price fluctuations and emergencies. Kopp argues that the three central elements of EU energy policy are fundamentally incompatible in key aspects, challenging the prevailing views on energy policy over the past decade. This academic book is aimed at professionals and students seeking a deeper understanding of the complex interactions between market mechanisms and political decisions in the energy sector.
