This monograph addresses that gap directly, building a systematic legal-theoretical account of the \"right to energy\" from first principles and then testing it against a live national case: Cuba, where recurrent grid failures and fuel shortages have made energy access a matter of open constitutional and political debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book moves in two stages. The first develops the conceptual and normative architecture of the right to energy—tracing its historical emergence, its treatment in international and regional human rights instruments, and the pattern of its positivisation in national constitutions. The second applies that framework to Cuba specifically, examining the 2019 Cuban Constitution, the historical and political background to the country's energy governance, and the scope of the existing legal framework for recognising and configuring an enforceable right to energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at legal academics, energy policy researchers, and comparative constitutional scholars, and at institutions building holdings in energy law and Latin American legal studies—an area with comparatively little English-language monograph literature relative to its practical relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst systematic legal-theoretical mapping of the \"right to energy\" as a distinct, emerging right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparative survey of how the right to energy has been positivised across national constitutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-depth case study applying the framework to Cuba's 2019 Constitution and energy governance framework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect relevance for comparative constitutional law courses examining energy, social rights, and Latin America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapters cover the conceptual delimitation of the right to energy, its international and regional normative treatment, trends in its constitutional positivisation, the historical and political background to Cuba's energy governance, the constitutional premises of the right to energy in Cuba, and the scope of the Cuban legal framework for its recognition and configuration, closing with theoretical-legal conclusions on the right as still \"under construction.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJosé Grabiel Luis Cordova is a legal researcher affiliated with the University of Groningen, working on the theoretical and constitutional dimensions of energy rights, with a research focus on Latin American and Caribbean legal systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTowards a Conceptual Delimitation of the Right to Energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrends in the Constitutional Positivisation of the Right to Energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational and Regional Normative Treatment of the Right to Energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Right to Energy as a Right Under Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical, Political, and Legal Background to the Construction of the Right to Energy in Cuba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstitutional Premises of the Right to Energy in Cuba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of the Cuban Legal Framework for the Recognition and Configuration of the Right to Energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheoretical-Legal Elements for the Recognition of the Right to Energy in Cuba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Conclusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy this book?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnergy law collections are heavily weighted toward regulatory and commercial titles; very few address energy access as a constitutional rights question, and fewer still through a Latin American case study written for an international audience.
