Listen to the summary of Anna Marhold's thesis "Energy in International Trade Law from GATT to TTIP. Regulation and Challenges"

This thesis takes a dynamic approach to the treatment of energy in international trade law. It traces the development of energy rules from the inception of the 1947 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) to Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)negotiations today.

It considers policy options for enhanced energy governance and discusses possible future scenarios and the role of the WTO and Energy Charter Treaty.
