| Summary: | This book deals with international law in Antarctica and the Arctic. It reviews how each region is managed by the individual legal regimes, and how the specific international laws developed to deal with unique polar conditions have contributed to the development of international law. It considers relevant aspects of the international law of the sea, international environmental law, and resource management law as applied in the polar regions. Consideration is also given to how international relations regime theory provides a framework for understanding the development of the polar legal regimes, and how polar international relations will impact on future legal developments. The conclusion assesses the impact of the polar regions upon the development of international law. |
