Sharing the Costs and Benefits of Energy and Resource Activity: A New Book by SEERIL's Academic Advisory Group

Abstract

This article summarises research in the field of energy and natural resources law, on the subject of the sharing of costs and benefits between developer companies, governments and local communities. It addresses a new phase in the sharing of costs and benefits that is readily discerned in many countries worldwide, and which compels a shift in thinking that is centred more traditionally on environmental and resource royalty regimes.
