Book Description
In Samarkand, Khiva, Bukhara and Tashkent, Dominic Ambrose takes a journey to the sources of the Silk Road. These photographs were taken in the late 1990s at marketplaces, town squares and in the shadow of ancient monuments, where the traditional and the modern come together as food vendors, street performers and artisans gradually step into a post-Soviet era. Printed in traditional book form, they appear fixed in their time and cultural space. The N2 photography series will use Twentieth Century print media to showcase images from that era. The unique experience of viewing illustrations on paper was a hallmark of Twentieth Century mass pubication and became the standard method by which millions of people became familiar with the world beyond their own towns. Newspapers, magazines, advertising and textbooks all used black and white photography to such a wide extent that people learned to ignore the limitations and feel a direct connection to the scenes depicted. What now seem like quaint, distant artifacts from a more clumsy age were in their time, the epitomy of communication. N2 photography aims to recreate that feeling of connectedness, and to repropose the newsprint photograph as a viable aesthetic experience. The 1990s proved to be a challenging time for Uzbekistan and all of Central Asia. Not only did the economics of communism leave the country impoverished and ill placed in the modern world, but also with an irrelevant social structure as well. What would replace the Soviet ideals, hierarchies and values, all based on failed European models? This land of ancient traditions came out of the Soviet era with a sense that its bonds to its native Uzbek culture had been severly damaged by 70 years of Bolshevik rule. There was a feeling among much of the Uzbek elite that traditional bonds needed to be reinforced, while at the same time, a new modern identity had to be created. When Dominic Ambrose visited the country in 1997, as part of the government's UMID scholarship program, these new goals were being implemented as state policy, and the effects were everywhere.

Book Description
The five Central Asian States – Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan – collectively present a unique case study for the nexus between international investment frameworks, investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS) and the future of this field. In this groundbreaking book, the editors have curated contributions from globally renowned practitioners and scholars to provide the first comprehensive overview of experiences and lessons arising from the region. This book draws upon the Central Asian experience with international investment law and ISDS to develop globally relevant insights and analyses on, among other topics: approaches to foreign direct investment and domestic investment legislation; jurisdictional questions arising in investment treaty arbitration, such as the notion of ‘investor’ and the definition of ‘investment’; the interpretation of investment treaties and the role of international and domestic law; substantive and procedural rights of foreign investors, with a focus on guarantees against expropriation and most-favoured nation and fair and equitable treatment standards; arbitral awards, as well as grounds and procedures for their enforcement and annulment; the state-of-play for allegations of corruption and fraud once a dispute has arisen; and emerging challenges and opportunities in light of ongoing reform initiatives. This book establishes that the Central Asian experience should be taken into consideration in any comprehensive and robust discussion on the future of international investment law and ISDS. It provides useful analyses of how these frameworks may be improved, reformed and remain fit for purpose. This book is an essential tool that allows practitioners, arbitrators, policymakers and scholars to confidently engage with the substantive and procedural challenges and opportunities that are anticipated in the next generation of investor-State disputes.

Book Description
The complex of ecological problems in Central Asia, especially in Uzbekistan, is linked to rapid ongoing demographic and economic processes. However, geographical location has its own peculiarity. Aridity of the climate in Uzbekistan makes water resources as main limiting factor for sustainable economic development (Chub et al., 1998; RECCA, 2011). Annual precipitation, ranging from 80-200 mm in plain to 300-400 mm in foothills and 600-800 mm in mountain rangelands (Chub, 2007), is considerably lower than the evaporation demand of atmosphere (FAO IPTRID et al., 2004). Thus, agriculture, accounting about 90% withdrawal of total available water resources in Uzbekistan, is impossible without irrigation (Qadir et al., 2009). Moreover, agricultural production is highly vulnerable to climate change (Lioubimtseva & Henebry, 2009). High fluctuation of precipitation and temperature increase may influence land use in irrigated lands, create difficulties in water management at regional and local scales, and increase competition of scarce water resources among water users in various sectors.

Book Description
This unique compendium offers an article-by-article commentary on the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States. Providing a comprehensive explanation of the functioning of this important mechanism for the settlement of investor-State disputes, it incorporates the preparatory work, the Convention's text, various rules and regulations adopted under the Convention, the practice of arbitral tribunals under the Convention, and academic writings on the subject. The first and second editions of this Commentary have been relied upon by numerous arbitral tribunals. This third edition follows the same system and approach, but extensive updates and revisions reflect the vast increase in arbitral practice since the publication of the second edition. A number of novel issues that have emerged through this practice are now addressed, making this practice-oriented guide an indispensable tool for anyone dealing with the ICSID Convention. Likewise, the number of contributors to and editors of the third edition has increased.
