Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual pricing is a practice that has garnered significant attention recently as either a potentially prohibited export subsidy or an actionable de facto specific subsidy under the WTO. Dual pricing practices by natural resource-endowed countries allow for the domestic price of natural resources to be set significantly lower than export market prices. Such practices permit countries to provide energy inputs to its consumers and domestic industries at discounted prices. These practices are of particular concern in industries that require either large energy inputs (such as the steel industry), or a large provision of resource-based energy commodities (such as the petrol-chemical industry). This paper will explore the issues relating to dual pricing practices in the resource-based energy sector, while at the same time considering the possibility of creating a framework for the expansion of the practice into other renewable and non-renewable natural resource-based industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of energy markets that have radically changed in recent decades, this book offers an in-depth study of energy regulation in international trade law. The author seeks to clarify what we define as 'energy' in the context of the applicable international trade rules, and gives the reader a thorough analysis of the concepts, history and law of the various legal frameworks underpinning international energy trade. In addition, several case studies address the ongoing quest for energy security and show how the existing rules relate to some of the vast challenges that energy markets face today, notably the decentralisation and decarbonisation of energy markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examines the consistency of energy dual pricing with WTO rules - the most controversial issue of energy policy to be addressed in the WTO context. Under dual pricing policy, energy-endowed states sell their energy within their domestic markets at preferential prices that are significantly lower than those charged for the same product in export markets. The issue of energy dual pricing had proven to be a stumbling block during accession negotiations of major energy-producing states, primarily because energy intensive downstream industries in such countries traditionally benefit from the preferential pricing policies of their governments in the domestic market. The core of the analysis is focused on the application of the WTO rules on subsidies to energy dual pricing policy. The study also conducts a comparative examination of the practices of the United States and the European Union regarding countervailing duty investigation of energy dual pricing programs. In addition, the study discusses the energy pricing policies of selected countries and considers the energy pricing issue in the context of WTO accession negotiations.

Book excerpt: Stakeholders in the international economy have long considered energy a crucial aspect of national sovereignty - a commodity inherently political in nature. Because of its contentious nature, energy and natural resources have been the source of conflicts for a millennia. With the sharp increase of the international price of oil and natural gas from 2002-2008, energy subsidization in the energy-rich exporting countries assumed center stage. A narrow focus on this new dynamic, however, obscures the basic issue that developed and developing countries tend to view energy in fundamentally contradictory ways. For developed, OECD countries energy is primarily a tool used to promote the smooth running of the global economy. This book discusses the role and development of energy in emerging regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual pricing is a practice through which resource-endowed states sell their energy resources at significantly lower prices on the domestic market, as compared to the price on the export market. Dual pricing could be considered an environmentally harmful fossil fuel subsidy: States that maintain dual-pricing policies are not incentivised to curb their CO2 emissions, but are instead encouraged to keep burning 'cheap' fossil fuels through below global market domestic prices, to the detriment of switching to cleaner forms of energy.This article discusses the practice of energy dual pricing in the broader context of fossil fuel subsidy reform. In view of climate change mitigation, the World Trade Organization (WTO) should contribute to this reform and play an active role in curbing and phasing out such environmentally harmful subsidies. Therefore, the piece approaches dual pricing from the viewpoint of being a fossil fuel subsidy. The contribution explores avenues to constrain dual pricing within the framework of the WTO. It does so by proposing options under existing rules, as well as suggesting changes to the system beyond WTO current rules.The piece suggests that WTO Members wishing to take action again dual-pricing policies maintained by other members could explore bringing a case to dispute settlement on the basis of specific provisions under the GATT, SCM and/or AD Agreements. Bringing a case would send a strong signal that dual-pricing policies are not immune to being challenged in a WTO dispute. Moreover, it is likely that this would function as a trigger to rapidly include talks on broader fossil fuel subsidy reform on the WTO agenda.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter discusses energy dual pricing policy applied by resources-endowed states in their energy sectors, including natural gas, coal, and electricity. The issue of energy dual pricing has a multi-faceted nature. It involves the aspects of public policy, including domestic investment policy, environment, trade, and competition. Striking the right balance between all of the above aspects appears to be a challenging task. As a result of the complex nature of energy dual pricing, its legality under different WTO agreements remains an open question, which has not been resolved either through negotiations or by WTO adjudicators. This chapter discusses energy dual pricing from several perspectives. After a brief introduction, in the second section, it addresses policy questions, that is, the issue of balancing the resources-endowed states' public policy and global concerns. In the third section, it analyses energy dual pricing in light of its consistency with WTO law, in particular the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994, the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, and the Agreement on Anti-Dumping. In addition, this chapter provides a brief insight into the relevant issues being discussed in the WTO Doha negotiations. The concluding section summarizes the findings made throughout the chapter and provides policy recommendations.

This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relevance and importance of the rule of law to the international legal order cannot be doubted and was recently reaffirmed by the Declaration of the High-level Meeting of the General Assembly on the Rule of Law at the National and International Level's solemn commitment to it on behalf of states and international organizations. In this edited collection, leading scholars and practitioners from the fields of global governance, resources, investment and trade examine how the commitment to the rule of law manifests itself in the respective fields. The book looks at cutting-edge issues within each field and examines the questions arising from the interplay between them. With a clear three-part structure, it explores each area in detail and addresses contemporary challenges while trying to assure a commitment to the rule of law. The contributions also consider how the rule of law has been or should be reconceptualised. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach, the book will appeal to international lawyers from across the spectrum, including practitioners in the field of international investment and trade law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides one of the most comprehensive and compelling analysis of Non-Market Economies (NMEs) and their treatment under the current world trading system. In particular, it examines the treatment of China as an NME in anti-dumping investigations, especially post-December 2016. Central to this analysis is Section 15 of China’s Protocol of Accession to the WTO, which is the focal point of the controversy between China and other major WTO Members. The book highlights multiple perspectives on the interpretation of Section 15 and the Second Ad Note to Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which form the legal basis for China’s special treatment in anti-dumping proceedings, and provides unique approaches on interpreting the above treaty texts. In addition, the book explores recourses to trade remedy instruments other than anti-dumping to identify and address state-driven market distortions in the case of NMEs. Authored by leading practitioners and scholars, the chapters offer a detailed commentary and rich insights into the diverse approaches and methods used by anti-dumping investigation agencies of leading users. This book serves as an all-inclusive resource for discerning all facets of this issue, magnitude of the consequences, and potential threats to the delicate trading system. It is of particular relevance to economies-in-transition and newly acceding countries to the WTO. This book generates special interest among legal practitioners, exporters, trading firms, think tanks, academicians, policy makers and the entire community engaged in international trade disputes with China.

This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, a team led by the English economist Sir Nicholas Stern issued a striking report that analyzed the economic dimensions of global climate change and called for immediate collective action to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This seminal report poses the critical question of how much emissions should be reduced within specific timeframes. To answer the challenge of finding a best-practices approach, Global Warming and the World Trading System looks at the economic aspects of GHG emissions and seeks a policy method to reduce them without adversely affecting global trade. The book begins with a survey of relevant data—such as emissions reports per sector—and evaluates current US climate policy options, focusing on the intricacies of specific Congressional bills. In this vein, this study examines whether the competitiveness provisions now under consideration are compatible with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and explores the pragmatic opportunities the WTO should capitalize on in order to accomplish two goals simultaneously: ensure "policy space" for countries to limit national GHG emissions without sacrificing the competitive position of their own industries and preserve an open trading system relatively free of discrimination and opportunistic protectionist measures. Should governments use trade measures to encourage other countries to cooperate in the adoption of environmental policies? The authors anticipate the potential negative environmental and economic outcomes as well as the disputes over violation of GATT articles. This book addresses how to avoid serious setbacks in an effort to reduce emissions without compromising the status of both domestic and international carbon-intensive industries. Most importantly, the book considers what can be done by environmental organizations to head off conflict with the WTO.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalism is often thought of as the ‘fourth estate’ of democracy. This book suggests that journalism plays a more radical role in politics, and explores new ways of thinking about news media discourse. It develops an approach to investigating both hegemonic discourse and discursive fissures, inconsistencies and tensions. By analysing international news coverage of post-Soviet Russia, including the Beslan hostage-taking, Gazprom, Litvinenko and human rights issues, it demonstrates the (re)production of the ‘common-sense’ social order in which one particular area of the world is more developed, civilized and democratic than other areas. However, drawing on Laclau, Mouffe and other post-foundational thinkers, it also suggests that journalism is precisely the site where the instability of this global social order becomes visible. The book should be of interest to scholars of discourse analysis, journalism and communication studies, cultural studies and political science, and to anyone interested in ‘positive’ discourse analysis and practical counter-discursive strategies.
