520 _a Since 1992, the European Union has put liberalisation at the core of its energy policy agenda. This aspiration was very much in line with a n international political economy driven by the neo-liberal (Washington ) consensus. The central challenge for the EU is that the energy world has changed, while the EU has not. The rise of Asian energy consumers ( China and India), more assertive energy producers (Russia), and the thr eat of climate change have securitized the IPE of energy, and turned it more 'realist'. The main research question is therefore: 'What does a liberal actor do in a realist world?' The overall answer as far as the EU is concerned is that it approaches energy challenges as a problem of market failure: imperfect competition on the supply side; inadequate s upply of public goods on the demand side and in terms of infrastructure ; and large externalities that arise both from non-energy events and fr om large-scale consumption of fossil fuels. 'A Liberal Actor in a Reali st World' assesses the changing nature of the global political economy of energy and the European Union's response, and the external dimension of the regulatory state.
