englischA proven framework is vital to governing energy at the regional level, so as to ensure abundant modern energy access while achieving a net-zero economy. This book explains the governance of regional energy systems from a unique and distinctive international political economy perspective. The book conducts a comparative institutional analysis of the ECOWAS and EU energy regions, and highlights shifts from monocentric to polycentric energy governance. It charts a way of developing a robust regional energy governance regime based on the ‘design principles’ of Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom. Aimed at political scientists and political economists with an interest in energy studies and comparative regionalism with a focus on the Global South and North, this book will appeal to students, academics and policymakers.

 

Michael Amoah Awuah is a research fellow at the Center for European Integration Studies at the University of Bonn, Germany.

»The topic is of great relevance for studies on both international energy and regionalism. [...] The comparative analysis covers a lot of ground, including legal, regulatory and policy implications of regional energy policy”, besides economic and financial considerations, innovation and technology and formal institutional aspects. [...] this book provides a welcome contribution to the energy field by examining the role of regional integration and cooperation in addressing the significant energy challenges characterizing energy in the Western African region. [...] the comparison of ECOWAS with the internal energy market will be relevant for scholars interested in energy and regional integration, and for policymakers in the region.«
