How does international law impact the energy transition away from fossil fuels? Which frictions and conflicts does this transition generate for international law and international lawyers? And how could and should these be addressed? In their symposium on the international law of energy, published in the Journal of International Economic Law, symposium editors Oliver Hailes and Jorge E Viñuales set out to ‘[return] matters of global energy governance from the fringes to the center of debates in international legal scholarship’. This workshop seeks to continue that project.
The workshop consists of four panels – foundations, forms, frictions, and frontiers – in which the contributors to the symposium present their research and continue the conversation with the editors, invited commentators and workshop participants. The aim of the workshop is to follow up on the important questions raised by the symposium, to jointly explore pathways for future research, and to connect international and EU lawyers working on energy-related issues.
