Analysing the policy area from a perspective that explains current developments through economic processes, path dependence, and political decisions over time, the book identifies the factors and mechanisms that enable and constrain actors and energy policy development. It contributes to the broader debate about institutional design and (European) integration in the energy sector, examining key legislation, the motives of actors complying with institutional rules, and the idiosyncratic factors that contribute to continuity and account for change.
