  • (Reca) the Regulation of Energy
    Meeting on Regional Energy Cooperation in Asia (RECA) THE REGULATION OF ENERGY INVESTMENTS ALONG THE “BELT AND ROAD” organised by The Chinese University of Hong Kong KAS Regional Energy Security and Climate Change Project, and Energy Charter Secretariat Hong Kong, 23-25 February 2017 Background Energy is a central aspect of China’s “Belt and Road” policy. In the context of increasing dependence on energy imports, it is of strategic importance for China to ensure the secure and reliable supply of external energy resources to the Chinese market. Central Asia and Russia play an increasingly important role for China’s energy security. However, the energy investment environment in these countries is challenging. Specific challenges for Chinese companies include the protection of their investments against regulatory and policy risks (e.g. expropriation) and against the risk of interruption of energy supply via third countries. At the same time, Chinese foreign energy investments impact on the organisation of energy supply in the host countries, and on the strategic interests of other major players in the region, e.g. the EU that relies on similar sources of energy supply. The law has an important but largely unexplored role to play in facilitating the necessary investments in the energy infrastructure along the “Belt and Road”, and more generally in regulating China’s increasingly influential foreign energy relations. This conference aims to reflect on the energy policy objectives of the “Belt and Road” policy and critically discuss the role of law for the achievement of China’s energy security under this initiative. Besides the financing and protection of Chinese energy investments in the “Belt and Road” countries and the question of energy transit, this conference looks at the interaction of the “Belt and Road” policy with existing domestic and multilateral energy security initiatives.

  • Recent Constitutional Reforms in Kazakhstan: a Move Towards Democratic Transition?
    review of central and east european law 42 (2017) 294-324 brill.com/rela Recent Constitutional Reforms in Kazakhstan: A Move towards Democratic Transition? Zhenis Kembayev kimep University, Almaty, Kazachstan <[email protected]> Abstract This article aims at examining the major principles and provisions of the constitu- tional structure of Kazakhstan in the context of the amendments introduced to the Constitution of Kazakhstan on 10 March 2017. In doing so, it provides an analysis of the fundamentals of Kazakhstan’s constitutional system as well as major constitutional provisions underlying the status of the capital, the status of individuals, the Kazakh- style strong presidency and weak parliament. The article provides background to Ka- zakhstan’s constitutional development and elections. It pays particular attention to the relationship between the President, the Parliament and the Government, but also expounds the influence of the President on the Constitutional Council and judicial bodies. Finally, it summarizes and demonstrates major features and problems of Ka- zakhstan’s constitutional system in order to provide an answer as to whether the recent constitutional reforms constitute a move towards the country’s democratic transition.
