Following an open access policy, the full version of the journal, and individual papers, will be available on-line free of charge. The Latin American Journal of Trade Policy (LAJTP) focusses on trade policy issues in Latin America from a multidisciplinary perspective. A particular aim of the journal is reduce the gap between academia and policymakers. As such, the journal encourages paper submissions on topics related to trade policy formulation, implementation and evaluation; international trade agreements and their impact, including WTO issues and preferential trade agreements; Latin American regional integration processes; and, bilateral trade and investment relations both between Latin American countries and with overseas economies. The journal is interested in publishing papers that draw policy relevant conclusions from academic research, that confront theoretical models with the Latin American experience and that use the specific regional experiences to develop new models. Particular consideration is given to empirical articles using quantitative, qualitative, or a mixed methods approach. We encourage the submission of articles that: <ul> <li class="show">contribute to existing knowledge of trade policy making in Latin America;</li> <li class="show">develop and advance pertinent theories to the region;</li> <li class="show">deal with the gap between academia and policy making;</li> <li class="show">utilize quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method approaches.</li> </ul> All correspondence regarding academic or formal aspects, or any other request related to the Journal, should be addressed to: Editorial Team: <a href="mailto:revista.iei@u.uchile.cl">lajtp.iei@uchile.cl</a> Twitter: <a href="https://lajtp.uchile.cl/index.php/LAJTP/management/settings/twitter.com/latin_iei">@latin_iei</a> https://anuariocdh.uchile.cl/index.php/LAJTP/article/view/75670 Towards Sustainable Solutions 2024-08-15T05:45:28+00:00 Izabella Vergara Arenas i.vergara10@uniandes.edu.co Daniela Molina Trujillo daniela.trujillo@reficar.com.co Carola Rojas carola.rojas@reficar.com.co

The renewable energy sector is experiencing a seismic demand as stakeholders, sovereign wealth funds, and governments intensify pressure for transition from traditional fuel sources. Companies traditionally focused on fossil fuels are diversifying into renewables, drawn by decreasing costs and advancing technologies. However, the rapid expansion of renewable energy projects brings its own set of risks, tied to large-scale infrastructure and evolving regulatory landscapes. As the sector grows, disputes loom on the horizon. Stakeholders' ability to anticipate and manage these disputes becomes paramount for effective transition and risk mitigation. Disputes in renewable energy projects could impact different parties and stakeholders of a company’s supply chain process. Notably, the critical and growing impact of climate change and the increasing influence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards set renewable energy projects apart from others. In this context, question if the existing dispute resolution mechanisms are tailored to renewable energy's unique challenges is essential. Specialized courts or tribunals well-versed in renewable energy law and dispute resolution can enhance these mechanisms, especially arbitration and mediation procedures. This paper argues that implementing these changes in the existing dispute resolution mechanisms ensures fairness, equity, and success in renewable energy projects, aligning them with the global mission to combat climate change. As Africa and Latin America are seen as key for the development of energy transition, all dispute resolution developments should be especially sensitive to these region’s particularities to effectively meet sustainable solutions. Promoting a setting where disputes are efficiently resolved could contribute positively to the environmental crisis.

The international economic order that has governed us for more than 30 years is changing. The globalization that characterized the international economy at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the present is being threatened by potential setbacks in the process of globalization, greater protectionist pressures, and an increase in tensions between the main economic powers. We find ourselves in a situation of insecurity and risks of international conflicts unprecedented since the end of the Second World War: cooperation, dialogue, and coexistence between countries is at risk. The central hypothesis of this paper is that we are in a transition towards a new international economic order. The paper examines the foundations and importance of the international economic order, its main milestones and institutions, its main results and the reasons for its weakening. Finally, the possible consequences of these developments are examined.
