On 28 November 2019, the Global Gas Centre will hold a gas session on “Gas Markets in Asia and the Pacific” in Singapore.

As the centre of gravity of the global natural gas market is shifting to Asia and China’s efforts to reduce pollution can potentially increase demand on the global market, what lies ahead in the global gas markets? What policy developments can be expected in Asia?

To explore these and other questions, the Energy Studies Institute (ESI) at National University of Singapore (NUS), in partnership with WEC-Global Gas Centre, and Australia-China Relations Institute at University of Technology Sydney, are organising a workshop in Singapore at the end of November.

18 years after the publication of the seminal commentary on the ICSID convention by Christoph Schreuer (Cambridge University Press, 2001), a group of practitioners including Remy Gerbay, Julien Fouret and Gloria Alvarez will release The ICSID Convention, Regulations and Rules - A Practical Commentary with Edward Elgar Publishing in December 2019.

This major new commentary on the ICSID Convention, Regulations and Rules offers a new, forward-looking and highly practical interpretation of the convention and its associated documents. It is the first commentary to provide systematic article-by-article coverage not only of the Convention itself, but also of the institution rules, the ICSID arbitration rules and the ICSID administrative and financial regulations.
