Summary
The Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanism supplements and, in a few cases, supplants traditional decision-making processes in the public domain. This training workshop aims to examine the significance of alternative dispute resolution for policy decision makers who are involved on behalf of states and/or state entities in major industrial projects, with a Harvard Business School case study, “The Kashagan Production Sharing Agreement”, to be set as a practical illustration.
The workshop is designed to be particularly beneficial for government officials (such as ministries of economics, industry, and environment), responsible for policies and projects that engage foreign investors and state-owned entities, as well as researchers and practitioners in this area. This 2-day workshop aims to foster discussions and innovative approaches on alternative dispute resolution.
Day 1 includes an introduction to the Harvard Business School Case Study, along with interactive sessions on negotiating and mediating disputes involving state entities and arbitrating disputes from the perspective of private parties.
Day 2 focuses on exploring state-party arbitration, followed by a hybrid panel discussion on the evolution of international commercial arbitration involving state entities, followed by thematic sessions on building counterclaims in investor-state disputes from an environmental perspective, concluding with a general discussion on the learning outcomes tied back to the case study.
