C. Banet, "Techno-nationalism in the Context of Energy Transition: Regulating Technology Innovation Transfer in Offshore Wind Technologies."



Summary:

In the context of economic recovery and energy transition, techno-nationalist measures within clean energy technologies have been flourishing for the past decade. These measures may find justification grounds in local development needs and environmental concerns, but, as this chapter demonstrates, the margin of appreciation left to WTO parties is very limited. Such measures will rarely pass the test of the different WTO Agreements to qualify for an exception. On the other hand, the pressing need to access clean energy technologies has resulted in several multilateral initiatives inspired by a more techno-globalist thinking under the WTO and UNFCCC regimes.



This Chapter reviews these initiatives and takes offshore wind technologies as case study, as it is one of the fastest growing clean energy technology sectors with huge export and employment potential.
