Resource Nationalism Returns?

About this episode

Myfanwy Wood and Tom Cummins, Partners in the disputes resolution team at Ashurst explore resource nationalism in the first episode of our mini-series on energy and resources disputes.

Myfanwy and Tom discuss why resource nationalism is currently in the spotlight and what investors can do to try and mitigate the risks and protect their foreign investments.

"It's not as if you have a lawyer in an energy company running into his CEO's office saying I think we're facing resource nationalism in a particular country, but for present purposes, it is quite a useful label to cover things like scenarios where a state imposes increased taxes on investors," says Tom.
