"The Routledge Handbook on the International Dimension of Transatlantic Relations is an essential and comprehensive reference for the regulation of transatlantic relations across a range of subjects, bringing together contributions from scholars, policy makers, lawyers and political scientists. Future oriented in a range of fields, it probes the key technical, procedural and policy issues for the US of dealing with, negotiating, engaging and law-making with the EU, taking a broad interdisciplinary perspective including international relations, politics, political economic and law, EU external relations law and international law and assesses the external consequences of transatlantic relations in a systematic and comprehensive fashion. The transatlantic relationship constitutes one of the most established and far-reaching democratic alliances globally, and which has propelled multilateralism, trade regulation and the EU-US relationship in global challenges.The different contributions will propose solutions to overcome these problems and help us understand the shifting transatlantic agenda in diverse areas from human rights, to trade, and security, and the capacity of the transatlantic relationship to set new international agendas, standards and rules. The Routledge Handbook on the International Dimension of Transatlantic Relations will be a key reference for scholars, students and practitioners of Transatlantic Relations/EU-US relations, EU External Relations law, EU rule-making, EU Security law, and more broadly to global governance, International law, international political economy and International Relations"--

"This timely book provides a detailed analysis of the regulatory landscape of energy derivatives trading in the EU. Liebrich Hiemstra argues that current supervision of the sector is too opaque and identifies how more effective legal remedies can be created to safeguard important legal values. Analysing the intersection of the energy and financial sectors, this book references key judgments from the EU Court of Justice to examine the interactions between energy derivatives supervisory bodies and market participants active in energy trading. Hiemstra explores the tension between energy derivatives trading as a cross-border activity, and a legislative framework for the sector characterised by national supervision and enforcement. The book outlines how this leads to ineffective supervision, particularly in the area of information sharing, with market participants obliged to disclose business-sensitive information. It gives practical recommendations to advance legislation and regulation in the field and protect the field from increasing energy sector volatility. EU Supervision of Energy Derivative Trading will be essential reading for scholars of energy law, financial law, and EU supervision and practitioners in this field. It will also be an invaluable resource for supervisory agencies looking to improve regulatory frameworks"--
