International Polar Law brings together seminal articles and essays on the law of the polar regions. The one volume collection traces the historical development of polar law in the Arctic and Antarctic and then assesses in detail the specific legal regimes that have developed for both regions. Common elements are traced in assessing 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 significance in global affairs.

With an original introduction by the editors, this collection will be an important resource for students, academics and practitioners.
