  abstract     = {{The thesis is an examination of the regulation of the security of supply focusing on the case of renewable energy at three levels (the international, the EU and the national, namely Turkey).  Following the introductory chapter, the second chapter outlines the institutional set-up of energy agencies and their roles in ensuring the security of supply by encouraging the production and use of renewable energy. Detailed attention is given to IRENA and IEA.  The third chapter describes the principal actors in the regulation of the energy market at the EU level, including the EU institutions and ACER.  The fourth chapter describes the Turkish energy market's structure and principal actors.  The fifth chapter highlights various challenges and flaws in the regulation of the energy markets with regard to renewable energy sources at three different levels, along with the novel contributions that this research brings to the field.
	A significant component and purpose of this research involves making recommendations for legal improvements related to the legislation and regulation directly affecting renewable energy and the security of energy supply.  In this context, international, multilateral and bilateral agreements are analyzed in detail, including several court cases.  Therefore, the findings of this dissertation research aim to contribute to international, regional, and national legal and policy decisions in this area.  
The study compares a range of legal means in the EU and Turkey in this area, including EU directives, regulations and treaties, such as the Energy Charter Treaty and other legal decisions.  The analysis aids in assessing how the legal instruments can be used in securing energy supply and renewable energy, utilizing the example of the EU's relationship with Turkey and scrutinizes Turkey's interaction and position in its domestic legislation towards the EU and global energy markets while illuminating the reasons for conflicting legislation and other measures.  
The methodology for the research includes legal research and analysis, institutional and academic document research at the EU and the Turkish levels.  Primary sources supporting the research findings include laws and regulations, case law, treaties and policy documents.  Secondary sources range from academic articles and books in the fields of energy policy and law. The core focus of the current study is on the legal aspects of renewable energy and the security of energy supply in energy markets.  However, other relevant political and technical aspects of the subject are covered in a limited context within the research boundaries.
The thesis demonstrates that the current energy market regulation has substantial challenges and flaws at three levels in terms of supply security and renewable energy regulation.  The research findings show what legal mechanisms and factors appear problematic in the achievement of the security of energy supply and renewable energy aims at both the EU and the Turkish levels.  This research has the potential to impact Turkey's future security of energy supply and the development of renewable energy legislation, which is currently being shaped as a part of the EU membership process.}},
