In Its briefs dated September 15 And November E, 19E5, N.O.C. did not Invoke as being a withdrawal, any action from SDN-OIL In ceasing performance before the Request for Arbitration was filed, other than the “force mejeure” excuse. Its argumentation was different. N.O.C. considered that, assuming that SUN-OIL had not withdrawn from the EPS* In 1962, there would be withdrawal If SUM-OIL does not resume, or does not show that it intends to resume, the Exploration Operations in spite of the Arbitral Tribunal's award regarding the Invalidity of the force majeure excuses. In such case, SUN-OIL would have to pay N.O.C. the costs of the uncompleted portion of the Exploration Program, as provided under Art. 3.4. of the EPSA.

Abstract: Proximate to a Weberian perspective, this article argues that the resilience of the Angolan regime is mainly owed to an ethos structured on top of a specific socio-cultural historical matrix (minority at start), evolving since the 16th century. Such matrix was structured on a prevailing Weltanschauung (world and national vision), that has been progressively self-presented, self-assumed, imposed/assimilated as national and modern within a project of identity and power hegemony, even though still and constantly ridden by several internal contradictions and tensions. Dynamics of this process is central to understand the intricacies of the relationship between rulers and ruled, evolving identities as well as the still significant social support to the party in power after more than four decades in the government. The regime’s resilience lays on such ethos in support of hegemonic power and identity project, above and beyond the president and all his political management abilities, beyond the central instrumentality of the national oil company (SONANGOL), beyond the media spotlight on influential names surrounding the presidency, including the president’s men, generals, and beyond authoritarianism.

This article deals with the concession contracts for the exploration and the production of oil and gas in Egypt. Such tripartite contracts are concluded between the Government of Egypt (GOE) as the host country, a National Oil Company (NOC) as the concession holder and an international oil company (IOC) as the foreign contractor who receives a part of the oil or gas production on a production sharing agreement (PSA). From an Egyptian legal perspective, this contract is qualified as a State contract which is supposed to give the Government some exorbitant powers towards its counterparts. However, in order to attract foreign investors into this kind of agreement and encourage international oil companies to explore natural resources, several legal safeguards are incorporated in the concession agreement. Examples of this include placing the contract in the framework of a legislative act, granting the contract a supremacy on any contrary legislation, stabilization clause, adaptation of the contract through renegotiation, arbitration clause, etc.

ABSTRAKKabupaten Minahasa Selatan merupakan daerah yang direncanakan untuk pengembangan agropolitan. Ternak sapi sebagai ternak andalan dikembangkan dengan cara digembalakan di bawah pohon kelapa. Permasalahannya seberapa besar alokasi tenaga kerja dan pendapatan kelapa-usaha ternak sapi di kecamatan Tenga. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis alokasi tenaga kerja dan pendapatan kelapa usaha ternak sapi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan untuk pengolahan kopra yang dialokasi oleh tenaga keluarga adalah 480 jam. Sedangkan penggunaan tenaga kerja luar keluarga (sewa) adalah untuk kegiatan pengolahan kopra yaitu 1.440 jam lebih besar dari jam kerja untuk keluarga. Tenaga kerja yang digunakan untuk usaha ternak sapi adalah tenaga kerja keluarga dengan alokasinya untuk kegiatan pindahkan sapi, mencari rumput, memberi makan, minum dan memandikan sapi. Alokasi jam yang terbesar untuk pindahkan sapi. Pendapatan dari penjualan kopra tergantung dari harga kopra. Harga kopra yang dijual di tempat petani lebih rendah dibanding dijual di perusahaan minyak goreng. Rata-rata pendapatan ternak sapi sebesar Rp 1.621.854,06 per tahun per responden. Pendapatan ini diperoleh tanpa perhitungan tenaga kerja keluarga. Saran penelitian ini adalah perlu intervensi dari pemerintah untuk pengembangan ternak sapi karena dengan penjualan ternak sapi sejumlah 1,42 ekor dalam setahun sangat merugikan petani.Kata Kunci : Pendapatan, kelapa, ternak sapiABSTRACTINCOME ANALYSIS OF COCONUT-CATTLE FARMER’S IN AGROPOLITAN AREA SUBDISTRICT TENGA SOUTH MINAHASA REGENCY.

Transnational law includes municipal law, public international law, and conflicts, including some attention to comparative law. For example, the international arbitration between the Arabian-American Oil Company and the Government of Saudi Arabia required George Sauser-Hall, the arbitrator, to weigh all of these variables. When you consider working in this field you should realize that you are concerned with politics, economics, and different bodies of law and also with great areas of uncertainty. I suppose that the current ITT case with $92 millions of investment insurance is a good example of the uncertainty when a political and legal situation gets mixed up.
