The former Soviet republics of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) generate a significant and growing amount of work for the major Western and CIS regional international arbitral institutions. This book, a country-by-country analysis of regulation and practice of international arbitration in ten CIS jurisdictions, offers the first comprehensive review of commercial arbitration in the region. It also analyses notable developments in the use of arbitration mechanisms contained in bilateral and multilateral investment treaties affecting the region. The book provides not only a detailed analysis of the law, but also insight from local practitioners into the culture of arbitration and ho...
This book explores the intrinsically multiscale issue of renewable energy transition from a local, national and transnational perspective, and provides insights into current developments in the Upper Rhine Region that can serve as an international model. Organised around the exploration of stakeholder issues, the volume first describes a framework for public action and modelling and then articulates a triple complementary focus from the viewpoint of law, economics and sociology. This multidisciplinary approach is anchored in the social sciences, but also explores the ways in which technological issues are increasingly debated in the implementation of the ecological transition. With a focus o...
This book addresses the injustices associated with renewable energy development and use within the context of the energy transition. Primarily informed by a communitarian approach to energy justice, the book draws on the philosophical concept of African communitarianism as a guiding principle. This concept emphasises harmonious or communal relationships among members of a political and social community, making it easier to justify solutions to renewable energy injustices, in contrast to an individualistic approach. The book argues that international law can facilitate this approach to energy justice by adapting existing norms, standards, practices, and institutions. Adopting the unfair distribution of renewable energy benefits in the international community as a test case, the book contributes to existing energy justice scholarship by highlighting the significant contribution of non-Western philosophies in addressing renewable energy injustices. It also repositions international law as a tool for operationalising this approach to energy justice. The book will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, international governmental organisations, and civil society.
This interdisciplinary study explores Marian imagery and representations in world literature and art throughout the centuries.
