This long-awaited new edition gives a contemporary
account of the international law of the sea,
invaluable to both student and teacher. Replicating
the rigour that defined previous editions, it opens
with a general overview of the subject, its foundations and guiding principles. It then explores key sectors from navigational rights, military activities at sea, marine resources and fisheries. Reflecting current preoccupations of the field, it has significantly expanded its discussion on climate change and environmental concerns, as well as the strategic role of islands. Put simply, this is a book that no serious
student of the subject can be without.
