Law of the Sea is a collection of foundational and contemporary essays and articles which together provide a comprehensive overview and analysis of the current law.

With a particular focus on some of the key debates that arose during negotiation of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and how those issues are now seen in light of twenty-first century events, this book is an essential resource for a student or researcher engaging in this dynamic and fundamental area of international law.
