Emerging Issues in Sustainable Development: International Trade Law and Policy Relating to Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment (Economics, Law, and Institutions in Asia Pacific)

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of how international trade laws apply to natural resources and energy, addressing emerging problems in the law of international trade such as reconciling multilateral trading system rules with shortages of certain natural resources and the need for renewable energy sources.

The author examines selected national laws relating to recent restrictions on the export of natural resources, including those used to produce energy and essential resources for industrial production, and discusses how the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and regional preferential free trade agreements apply to such restrictions.

Additionally, the book explores how national competition laws impact export restrictions on natural resources.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay between international trade law and sustainable development in the context of natural resources and energy.
