Abstract

The field of energy and natural resources law is constantly evolving. In part this is due to changing technologies and in part it is due to the hybrid nature of this body of law, which draws on a number of doctrinal areas. Some of these doctrinal areas, such as property, contract, tort and administrative law, have been thoroughly tilled over the years in their application to the energy and natural resources industries, while others are added from time to time. One of the most notable developments over the 30 years of the Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law has been the addition of European Union (EU) law as an important influence on the development of energy and natural resources law. Another important development, with global rather than EU regional implications, has been the emergence of international investment law as a distinctive field of practice and research. This article considers the growing importance of international investment law in the context of low-carbon energy policies.
