In this informative book, Yoshifumi Tanaka examines the key legal issues within the developing field of polar law through the lens of public international law. He argues that the polar regions are a microcosm of challenges facing the international community today, and emphasises the crucial role of polar law in addressing them.
From issues involving international spatial order to the peaceful settlement of international disputes, Tanaka provides a comprehensive overview of polar law. Chapters explore the importance of conservation and sustainability regarding both natural resources and biodiversity, as well as the regulation of shipping and scientific research in the polar regions. With detailed references and systemic analyses, this book not only details the complexities of polar law but asserts it as an increasingly important branch of international law.
Polar Law is a crucial reference for scholars and students in the fields of public international law, international relations, and environmental law. Practitioners and government officials working in the field of polar research will also benefit from the book's insights.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Polar Law: An Introduction bears all the hallmarks of Professor Tanaka's impressive scholarship: exhaustive in its content, rigorous in its analysis and balanced in its approach. It is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the legal regimes governing the Poles.' -- Suzanne Lalonde, Universite de Montreal, Canada 'Tanaka delivers a rigorous, doctrinal account covering law of the sea, natural resources, environmental protection, scientific research, and dispute settlement in the polar regions. The book is a great starting point for anyone studying polar law.' -- Rachael Lorna Johnstone, University of Akureyri, Iceland 'Professor Tanaka's introduction to polar law is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the increasingly prominent field of polar law. The strength of Tanaka's approach lies in his ability to rigorously analyze all areas of international law relevant to the governance of the polar regions. Although titled as an introduction, the book conveys a profound and comprehensive understanding of polar law as a distinct discipline within international law.' -- Timo Koivurova, University of Lapland, Finland
