| Summary/Abstract |
The World Energy Investment Outlook, published by the IEA in November 2003, questions the conditions for financing future energy investments, especially in developing countries for the power sector, and for energy exports to the OECD. Mitchell reviews the role of governments in energy investment in OECD countries. This leads to a conventional wisdom about conditions which OECD investors would like to see, but not much guidance on issues of resource rents or conflicts arising from differences between local costs and national benefits. An "Institutional agenda" of initiatives (WTO, TRIMS, GATS and the Energy Charter Treaty) seeks to export OECD conditions and promote "good governance" in developing countries. There is also a "Behavioral agenda" in which international companies are persuaded to promote a variety of millennium goals, including human rights, poverty reduction, and environmental sustainability. These factors have different relevance in different countries in which major energy investments are foreseen. Finally, Mitchell suggests that "acceptability" is an inclusive concept under which the OECD type initiatives can be combined with regard for the circumstances and interests of the different non-OECD countries, to give an operational definition of investment "quality."

| Summary/Abstract |
OVER THE PAST DECADE, the global oil industry has undergone profound and multifactorial transformations. World energy consumption exhibited high growth rates in the 2010s. In 2018, it amounted to 2.9%, almost twice the same indicator eight years prior.1 As in preceding years, the increase in demand for primary energy by more than two-thirds was accounted for by India, China, and the U.S. Meanwhile, oil was and remains the main energy resource in most countries of America, Africa and Europe. In 2018, daily consumption increased by 1.4 million barrels; aggregate demand reached 98.7 million barrels per day.

| Summary/Abstract |
In response to threats posed to the future supply of energy and to the environment, the G8 leaders, in Gleneagles, UK in 2005, agreed to an initiative called the Gleneagles Plan of Action (GPOA) which addresses climate change, clean energy and sustainable development. In the GPOA, G8 leaders pledged to encourage the development of cleaner, more efficient and lower-emitting vehicles, and to promote their deployment by, among other means, asking the IEA to review existing standards and codes for vehicle efficiency and to identify best practices.
In order to properly response to the above-mentioned requests from G8 leaders, the IEA has launched, among other activities, study on policies for "transforming the way we use energy" focusing on end-use efficiency including the one in transport sector and made a comprehensive response to the GPOA at the 2008 G8 Summit Meeting in Japan with 25 recommendations on energy efficiency. Regarding these recommendations, the G8 leaders have proclaimed, in the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit Leaders Declaration, that they would maximize implementation of the IEA's 25 recommendations.

AT THE OPENING CEREMONY of the 21st Nigeria Oil and Gas (NOG) Conference and Exhibition in Abuja, Nigeria, on July 5, 2022, then-secretary general of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo deplored the current alarming situation in the world oil and gas market. "Our industry is now facing huge challenges along multiple fronts, and these threaten our investment potential now and in the longer term. To put it bluntly, the oil and gas industry is under siege!"1 he said.

| Summary/Abstract |
As China needs to play a more active role in global energy governance, it must create a diversified, multi-level system to enhance energy security and to alleviate environmental pressures. A China-IEA bilateral relationship exists under an Association Initiative, but a stronger bond is needed. Though it is not an IEA member, China’s massive energy needs makes it sensible that the two sides overcome existing obstacles that include OECD membership, statistical information issues and energy autonomy. In this regard an “IEA+China” might be a feasible model.

| Summary/Abstract |
While the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) deems human rights as universal and uniformly applicable to all societies, John Rawls’s idea of rights offers a narrower account of human rights which would be differential and acceptable to different societies and people. The notion emphasises that human rights move on a spectrum of continual development with regard to particularities and changing needs of different societies. Such an approach to human rights, Rawls argues, leads to better implementation of international human rights. Rawls’s analysis of human rights’ dynamic nature, however, remains confined only to macro-level variation of human rights among different societies. This article argues that human rights also vary within the same society. It charts how Afghan women’s conception of human rights has evolved from one period of the Taliban rule to another. This evolution indicates how, with the passage of time and the effect of external factors, new variants of women’s rights have emerged and became fundamental to the Afghan society. The article suggests that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) should not ignore this evolution and development. Rather, it can seize the opportunity to cooperate with the international community and foreign powers to implement women’s rights within a middle framework between human rights notions of Rawls and the UDHR.

| Summary/Abstract |
The purpose of this article is to reveal how two organizations from the OECD system-the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the International Energy Agency-are maneuvering strategically to retain their focal places in the regime complexes that developed around taxation and energy, respectively. It argues that their bid for leadership and centralization is built on the comparative advantages they enjoy as institutions; namely, their historically accumulated expertise and distinct working methods, their close ties with the Group of 8, and their rapidly developing relationships with emerging powers. Notwithstanding these institutional assets, a revision of the OECD's membership could further cement and legitimize the central role of the OECD system in these regime complexes.
