| Summary/Abstract |
The important lessons learnt from the trilateral negotiations on the IPI pipeline reflect variance in legal, institutional, economic and trade laws and practices prevalent in the three countries. The project highlights the complexities of cross border pipeline projects, ranging from a macro view in which geopolitical forces play a role to a micro view where cross-border technicalities and regulatory issue play a role and, ultimately, how these complexities influence the choices made by the parties involved. The IPI gas pipeline has thus suffered delays common to most other cross border pipelines.
