Prof. Hao ZHANG’s co-edited book, Handbook of Energy Law in the Low-Carbon Transition, has been published by De Gruyter.
This edited volume marks a significant contribution to the understanding of the legal aspects surrounding the ongoing global energy transformations. This comprehensive volume offers a comparative perspective that delves into the legal foundations of these transformations. Introducing the concept of legal pathways of decarbonisation as a helpful tool, the book is divided into five parts, each dedicated to analysing the institutional and regulatory contexts that shape energy law and policy decisions related to decarbonisation in different countries and regions. Through this approach, this Handbook offers valuable insights into the intricate relationship between energy systems and the legal frameworks that govern them.
The co-editors of this volume are Prof. Giuseppe Bellantuono (Professor of Comparative Law, Faculty of Law, University of Trento, Italy), Prof. Lee Godden (formerly was Professor at Melbourne Law School, The University of Melbourne, Australia; currently Dean of Faculty of Law, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand), Prof. Hanri Mostert (DST/NRF SARChI Research Chair for Mineral Law in Africa and Professor of Law at the University of Cape Town, South Africa), Prof. Hannah J.
