| Popis: |
This book addresses various aspects of the energy sector of the Czech Republic. There is hardly a more turbulent or more sensitive sector of the Czech economy than the energy sector. As a result, it is carefully monitored not only by the political and economic elite of the country, but also by the general public. The book The Energy Sector and Energy Policy of the Czech Republic is divided into eight chapters. The first describes the key actors and legislative framework of the energy sector of the Czech Republic, including an analysis of the Government, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of the Environment, and other legislative and regulatory bodies and political parties. The second chapter introduces the rich and complicated history of the development of the Czech national energy sector. The following chapters familiarise the reader with coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, renewables industries, and electricity and heat. The intended readership consists of scholars and researchers, as well as experts in the relevant fields of study, but the book will also serve as a guide for those outside academia who work with the topic daily, such as in public administration. Finally, the general reader can make great use of this book to gain a thorough yet accessible impression of the Czech energy sector. |
