This book will discuss the legal tools offered by international law
that can support foreign direct investment (FDI) in the renewable
energy sector in the Global South. Promoting and increasing investment
in the renewable energy sector is crucial for limiting global
temperature rise to 1.5°C and addressing energy poverty in the Global
South. In this volume, Avidan Kent explores the various home-country
measures (HCMs) offered by international law that support FDI in the
renewable energy sector. This book provides a bird’s eye evaluation
of HCMs from fields such as trade law, investment law, environmental
law, development law and more. It reveals that while international law
indeed offers many legal tools to support investors’ needs, the
current legal framework is fragmented; most legal instruments were
designed in isolation and the potential for mutually supportive,
synergetic policies has been explored only to a limited extent. This
fragmented reality is in contradiction to the notion of Policy
Coherence for Development, which is increasingly gaining support in
leading institutions in Europe and elsewhere. This book will provide
recommendations on the manner in which HCMs can be connected in order
to maximise their potential and boost investment in renewable energies
in the developing world. International Law and Renewable Energy
Investment in the Global South will be of great interest to scholars,
students and practitioners of international law, energy studies,
development studies and IR more broadly.
