Reihe: Global Trade Law Series

Starting from the premise that a multilateral legal framework is the surest way to achieve predictability and transparency under conditions of increasing reliance on internationally traded energy, the essays gathered in this book treat the many complex interlocking issues raised by examining that desideratum in the light of current reality. Concentrating on the application of WTO agreements to energy trade – as well as energy-related issues addressed in the current WTO negotiations – the authors offer in-depth discussion and analysis of such issues as the following:

the effectiveness of existing WTO agreements in addressing issues pertinent to energy trade
how restrictive practices of energy endowed countries can be tackled under existing international trade rules;
existing frameworks for investment in highly capital-intensive energy infrastructure projects;and conditions for access to pipelines and transmission grids;
regulation of energy services;
bioenergy development and trade;
energy issues addressed in the WTO accession negotiations of energy endowed countries;
international instruments of resolution of energy-related disputes.
