Abstract

The systematic study of energy law in the context of legal policy clearly indicates that energy industry issues today form the main agenda of international relations and, accordingly, their legal regulation at the national and international levels. For Russia, more than for any other country, the issues of energy industry in the global law order are of paramount importance. And, in light of the foregoing, the timeliness of the monograph Relevant Tasks of Energy Law edited by V.V. Romanova, is beyond doubt. It is Russian science that should become a generator of ideas for a new law order, including on issues of energy law. An essential condition for ensuring energy security in the “inner periphery”, including through legal means, should be the balance of the political interests of the state with the commercial interests of industrial and financial groups. To achieve this goal, a verified legal policy is required, ensuring a balance of market relations aimed at profit generation with the social security of the population, small and medium-sized businesses.

1 Research in energy law in Russia over the past years has been reflected in a number of fundamental monographs devoted to issues of both the essence and subject of energy law and specific issues of regulating relations in the energy industry. I would especially like to mention the monograph by V.V. Romanova devoted to the current state and objectives of energy law order, [1] monographs edited by V.V. Romanova, devoted to the legal regulation of energy markets, [2] legal regulation of energy security. [3] In 2022, the monograph Relevant Tasks of Energy Law edited by V.V. Romanova, was published. [4]
2 This journal, published the Musin Research Center for the Development of Energy Law and Modern Legal Science Autonomous Non-Commercial Organization, [5] quarterly introduces the reader to the issues arising in practice, as well as to the proposals of the expert network to improve the current laws and the analysis of law enforcement practices.
3 A systematic study of energy law in the context of legal policy clearly indicates that energy industry issues today form the main agenda of international relations and, accordingly, their legal regulation at the national and international levels.
4 The urgency of these issues was definitely revealed in the Nord Stream 2 issue, the fight against which became an integral part of the new crusade against Russia. In the context of the current events that have already closed the “book of international relations” written after World War II, the challenge of building a new law order arises, which should provide a way out of the military confrontation that has arisen and become the basis of future international political and economic relations. For Russia, more than for any other country, the issues of energy industry in the global law order are of paramount importance. And, in light of the foregoing, the timeliness of the monograph Relevant Tasks of Energy Law is beyond doubt. Under the circumstances, a monograph with such a general title cannot objectively reflect the whole complex of issues that have arisen and are pending. However, the material contained in it, addressing a number of urgent objectives, encourages further research. It is Russian science that should become a generator of ideas for a new law order, including on issues of energy law.
5 Russia can rightfully be called the world’s storehouse and keeper of the widest range of energy resources, as well as the guarantor of their fair use both on Russian and global markets. Almost all types of energy resources are represented in the territory of Russia. Russian laws contain provisions ensuring their exploration, production and transportation, both within the country and abroad. Modern trends in the development of energy industry, giving priority to renewable sources, also have favorable prospects in Russia, in view of the level of national scientific and technical research in this area and the possibility of using large territories for their development.
6 An essential condition for ensuring energy security in the “inner periphery”, including through legal means, should be the balance of the political interests of the state with the commercial interests of industrial and financial groups. To achieve this goal, a verified legal policy is required, ensuring a balance of market relations aimed at making profit with the social security of the population, small and medium-sized businesses.
7 Preservation of Russia’s traditional energy resources; improvement of technologies for their use and creation of new technologies in the renewable energy industry; ensuring fair competition within the country and in global markets; protection from political and military threats emanating from unfriendly countries: all this requires systematic legal regulation of Russian national interests and energy security.
8 The system of creation energy security requires identifying serious challenges that pose a threat to its security, as well as setting objectives for its organizational and legal regulation. This is a scheduled, but only the first step in the legal policy that forms the system of legal regulation at the national and international levels.
9 In view of the fact that the Russian energy industry, like no other branch of the economy, is connected with the world market, international economic, political and military factors have a serious impact on both the development strategy of national energy industry and its legal regulation.
10 Since 2014, the situation has changed significantly. The vector of political and legal orientation associated with the “outer periphery” has become dominant in the issue of ensuring energy security. The latest legal policy and its legal implementation are developing towards solving energy security issues against the background of military and political confrontation with the Collective West, with its unlawful, aggressive legal policy, expressed in unfair competition in the world market, as well as in sanctions and restrictive measures directed against Russia.
