The system of public administration in Ukraine’s energy sector requires deep scientific understanding, as the effectiveness of state governance in the natural gas market determines the nation’s energy security, level of competition, and protection of consumer rights.
The Director of the Scientific Research Institute of Maritime and Space Law, Professor Andrii Ivanyshchuk, in cooperation with Ihor Pidbereznykh, Yevhen Serdiuk, Valentyn Halunko (co-founder of the Institute), Olha Makhmurova-Dyshliuk, and Andrii Lazarev, prepared a series of articles that systematically explore the mechanisms, actors, and instruments of public administration in the natural gas market, as well as conduct a comparative analysis with the practices of the European Union.
Within this research cycle, the authors examine:
- the legal foundations for the formation and functioning of the natural gas market;
- the powers of public administration entities in the energy sector;
- subordinate law-making as an instrument of regulatory influence;
- specific administrative actions and procedures in gas extraction, transportation, storage, and sale;
- the features of public administration of the natural gas market in the EU as a benchmark for reforming Ukraine’s national governance system.
This scientific cycle forms a coherent concept of state regulation of the gas sector, aimed at balancing economic feasibility with legal certainty—a critically important task for Ukraine amid energy challenges and its integration into the European legal space.
