International Polar Law. This item is unavailable.International Polar Law

This research review discusses seminal articles and essays on the law of the polar regions. It traces the historical development of polar law in the Arctic and Antarctic and then analyses in detail the specific legal regimes that have developed for both regions. Common elements assist in the assessment of recent and future developments in international polar law as it has evolved from a narrow legal discourse into one that reflects a significant body of international law for regions that have increasing importance in global affairs.

This research review will be a valuable resource for students, academics and practitioners.
