Foreign Investment in the Energy Sector: Balancing Private and Public Interests by Brill (Hardback, 2014)

Foreign investments in the energy sector raise formidable legal questions, often requiring a delicate balance between private and public interests of the various stakeholders. Foreign Investment in the Energy Sector: Balancing Private and Public Interests opens with a discussion of the legal protection of foreign investment in the main segments of the energy sector (namely oil, gas, mining and hydroelectric industry), both in substantive and procedural terms. This second part of the book focuses on the Energy Charter Treaty, by far the most important international legal instrument in the energy sector, and its future after the decision of the Russian Federation t to ratify it. In its third part, the book examines four critical areas that are often negatively concerned by ecomic activities by multinational in the energy sector, namely compliance with safety and labour standards, protection of the environment, respect of indigeus peoples rights, and protection of public health. Foreign Investment in the Energy Sector: Balancing Private and Public Interests, a comprehensive collection of essays from experts and practitioners, offers an important new resource to the field.
