The Evolution of Energy Law

There are not a significant number of theories in energy law but a central one concerns its evolution. A framework is important as it will in essence provide energy law with a ‘spirit’ or a raison d’etre. This theory concerns the Evolution of Energy Law and the centre-point of this theoretical perspective is that to-date there have been Five Stages in the Evolution of Energy Law. In understanding what have been the key stages (or drivers) in the development of energy law it will give the energy law scholar an understanding of the motivation(s) behind the formulation of energy law.
