Call for papers: OGEL Special Issue on the Arctic Region
7 April 2011
Note: OGEL 2 (2012) Arctic Region: Boundaries, Resources and the Promise of Co-operation has been published...
Oil, Gas, and Energy Law Intelligence (www.ogel.org) invites submissions for a Special Issue on the Arctic Region: Boundaries, Resources and the Promise of Co-operation.
The potential for extraordinary deposits of untapped natural resources and the complicated tangle of undefined borders and competing claims of sovereignty will make the Arctic region home to one of the most compelling sets of international legal issues in the 21st Century.
OGEL encourages submission of relevant papers, studies, and brief comments on various aspects of this subject. The focus of this Arctic Special Issue is on the competing claims of states to rights to search for and exploit resources and on the legal framework within which these resources will be developed, although we invite submissions of papers and studies addressing the wider topic of the international legal framework for the Arctic Region.
The guest editors for this special issue are Timothy Tyler (adjunct professor for International Investment Law and International Arbitration at the University of Texas School of Law, Austin, Texas; with the Center for Global Energy, International Arbitration and Environmental Law at the University of Texas; and Counsel with Vinson & Elkins LLP in Houston, Texas), James Lloyd Loftis (head of the International Dispute Resolution practice of Vinson & Elkins RLLP in London and adjunct professor and lecturer in International Investment Law and International Arbitration at the University of Texas School of Law, Austin, Texas), and Adrianne Goins (Counsel in the International Dispute Resolution practice of Vinson & Elkins LLP in Washington DC).
