Nuclear power has been a consideration and part of energy policies of many countries across the world since its emergence as an electricity provider after the Second World War. Nuclear energy is a low-carbon energy source and therefore can contribute to reducing the effects of climate change. However, it is also faced with issues of high cost, risk and waste disposal. Drawing on over 90 interviews completed across Belgium (Brussels), Romania, the United States, and the United Kingdom, this book focusses on the development and formulation of energy law and policy in civil nuclear energy in the EU, the US and beyond. Heffron deconstructs the constituent parts of effective energy law and policy within the complex and often controversial energy industry. Pulling out what has and what has not worked, he suggests ways to improve the delivery of the central aims of law and policy.

The ambition of most countries across the world is to develop a low-carbon economy, evidenced by the fact that the vast majority of countries have signed the Paris COP21 agreement. This book contends that this global societal transition to a low-carbon economy must be just. As such, it will be an invaluable and accessible reference for scholars from all research disciplines who aim in their research to see a fairer, more equitable and inclusive world where sustainability is at the fore and climate targets are achieved.This is the first in-depth and original analysis to explore the central importance of law in achieving a just transition to a low-carbon economy. In addition, it advances the JUST framework, a unique framework for assessing the just transition. This important research and theoretical tool provides a practical perspective as it ensures the geographical space and timelines of development are factored into analysis. The research also provides analysison the just transition movement around the world and the influence of international institutions.Through several case studies on Just Transition Commissions and Critical Mineral Development, the book details and demonstrates key elements of justice, including distributive, procedural, restorative, recognition, and cosmopolitan justice. It is clear from the analysis that while these are vast areas for analysis, if applied in practice, they all centrally contribute to ensuring society will advance in achieving a just transition to a low-carbon economy.

Energy Policymaking in a Cross-national Comparison
Energy Resources, Policy Processes and Law

This book examines energy policymaking processes from a cross-national perspective. It presents 19 in-depth country studies written by experts with extensive experience in the respective country or region. Each study explores the country’s unique approach to energy policymaking, which is shaped by various factors, including domestic energy endowments, formal governance structures, environmental laws and regulations, cultural attributes, and historical experiences. All the studies employ a unique, flexible framework, adapted from the work of Elinor Ostrom. The framework has no behavioral assumptions, and allows for consideration of greater numbers of variables than other theories of policymaking. This approach has an advantage over previous theories particularly when comparing developed and developing economies.With the applied policymaking framework, the book highlights commonalities of successful energy policymaking efforts, and offers practical guidance on cooperation at the international level. Given the breadth of coverage, it offers valuable insights for social scientists researching energy policy and policymaking processes, and for policymakers pursuing international efforts such as the 2015 Paris agreement.
Revolution in the Global Critical Minerals Sector
A Law, Economics and Justice Perspective

This book examines mining justice through a problem-driven political economy lens, analysing the complex interests that shape the exploitation of critical minerals needed to power the global energy transition and achieve decarbonisation across different jurisdictions. As demand for these minerals intensifies, questions of equity, governance, and sustainability are becoming central to debates on mineral extraction and resource governance.The book explores how critical mineral development can advance not only global climate objectives but also broader goals of restorative mining and economic justice. It focuses on the technological, economic, institutional, and legal dynamics that shape mineral governance and influence how the benefits and burdens of extraction are distributed. By situating mining within wider debates on development, industrial policy, and global energy transitions, the analysis highlights both the opportunities and tensions associated with expanding mineral extraction to support decarbonisation.Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the book integrates insights from economics, law, political science, and social analysis to examine how justice can be conceptualised and operationalised in the mining sector. It develops a rigorous theoretical framework for understanding justice in mineral resource governance while engaging with the practical realities faced by governments, communities, and industry actors.Through this integrated perspective, the book provides a clear account of the governance challenges surrounding critical mineral development and offers new insights into how mining can be aligned with equitable and sustainable development in a rapidly evolving global energy landscape.
