Whether the 'regime' concept (Krasner, 1982) , 'energy regime complex' (Colgan et al., 2012; Goldthau, 2013) or 'global energy governance' (GEG) (Van De Graaf and Colgan, 2016) is being used, consensus seems to be that an 'energy order' does exist, and that it operates at the macro-structural level as a set of rules that constrain and enable the behavior of relevant players, be it national governments or extractive companies.
