Joint Venture Disputes in the Energy and Natural Resource Sectors provides the most comprehensive review of judgments and arbitral awards in these sectors to date. The book combines a comprehensive assessment of model joint venture contracts, examining their impact on customary industry practice and case law, with a review of almost 400 cases from around the world - including 35 previously unpublished ICC awards - to inform a detailed examination of the issues typically arising in joint venture disputes, trends forming in this area of international energy law, and lessons that can be distilled for future practice.
Given the breadth and depth of its analysis, this volume will be a valuable resource for those involved in negotiating, drafting, managing, and advising on energy and natural resource joint ventures.
