EMERGING ISSUES IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GEBU...

This book seeks to answer the questions: how do the rules of international treaties on trade
and investment apply to the new laws and policies relating to energy-related trade  and do the
rules of the multilateral system contribute to or detract from sustainable development? An
emerging set of new problems in the law of international trade is how to reconcile the rules of
the multilateral trading system with shortages of certain natural resources and the necessity
to develop renewable energy resources. The chapters in this book provide a comprehensive
analysis of the international trade issues presented by national trade laws and policies with
regard to natural resources and energy. This book is about the extent to which we are
interpreting existing rules to cover emerging problems and how the rules of the multilateral
trading system can be adapted to achieve sustainable development in natural resources and
energy. The book begins with a survey of selected national laws relating to recent restrictions
on the export of natural resources  both resources used to produce energy as well as natural
resources essential for industrial production. After examining the range of such laws in
selected important countries  we turn to the application of the rules of the multilateral
trading system to such export restrictions. We discuss the major rules of the World Trade
Organization (WTO) as well as the natural resources rules in selected regional preferential
free trade agreements. While there is not a comprehensive global legal regime on competition
law  we believe it is also important to examine how selected national competition laws impact
export restrictions on natural resources.This book will be a major contribution to the
international dialogue on international economic law issues with respect to trade in natural
resources and energy.
