Research Handbook on Polar Law (Research Handbooks in Environmental Law series)

Description

This timely Research Handbook explores the concept of polar law as a coherent body of law and as a set of rules and principles that applies to both the Arctic and Antarctic. It captures the evolution of polar law and policy, identifying future directions for research in this emerging and growing field.   Expert international contributors analyse the concept of polar law across a range of areas including human rights, bioprospecting, tourism, environmental protection and fisheries management. They examine how Antarctic and Arctic regional regimes contribute to polar law, scrutinizing international treaties, agreements and arrangements. With a focus on the evolution of polar law in the context of the Anthropocene, chapters cover key issues related to the poles, such as climate change, minerals exploration and boundary disputes. Demonstrating the benefits of polar as opposed to bipolar law, this Research Handbook provides a critical assessment of contemporary challenges to the field.   Incorporating a diverse range of themes and topics, this Research Handbook will be a valuable resource for academics and students of polar law as well as those interested in how international law applies to the polar regions. It will also be beneficial for diplomats and policy makers working in polar law and policy fields. 83052844_C(full permission) [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Contents [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Copyright [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Maps [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Tables [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Contributors [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Acknowledgements [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Introduction to Polar Law [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Polar regions in the Anthropocene [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] The Antarctic Treaty System [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Arctic regional agreements and arrangements [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] People at the Poles [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Polar science diplomacy [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] The Arctic Ocean unscrambled_ competing claims and boundary disputes [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Antarctic_ competing claims and boundary disputes [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Emerging and non-traditional actors at the Poles [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Southern Ocean fisheries [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] The evolving management of fisheries in the Arctic [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Marine mammals at the Poles [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Non-living resources and the Poles [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Bioprospecting at the Poles [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Polar cruise tourism [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Principles of environmental protection at the Poles [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Marine protected area networks at the Poles [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Polar shipping law [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Global trajectories of chemical pollution_ legal gaps and complexities in the Polar context [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Climate change and the Poles [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Ocean acidification at the Poles_ regional responses to marine environmental change in the Anthropocene [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Evolution of A Polar Law [9781788119580 - Research Handbook on Polar Law] Index
