Public administrations in the eu energy policies and communities
A.A. 2025/2026
Obiettivi formativi
The course explores EU energy policies, with a particular emphasis on how Member States implement EU legislation within the broader framework of the energy transition. It will pay special attention—while maintaining a strong environmental focus—to issues such as energy supply security, the role of nuclear energy, and the development of alternative energy sources like hydrogen. Additionally, the course will examine the impact of these policies on national administrative systems, especially in terms of the discretionary powers of public authorities and the complex balancing of sensitive and often competing (public and private) interests.
