Abstract

The Law of the Sea Convention: US Accession and Globalization, provides valuable insight into a number of contemporary and pressing issues concerning the world's oceans and their management. Part I presents findings and evaluation of topics such as energy and economic development, including the undersea cable industry, as well as ramifications for U.S. national security and navigational rights. Part II examines key trends in commercial shipping, piracy and terrorism, islands and rocks, safety and navigational freedom, marine scientific research, and emerging global oceans policy issues.
