Current polar law developments indicate that both the Arctic and the
Antarctic will continue to be the focus of growing scientific,
international, political, media, and public discourse for the
foreseeable future. The regulation of resources and associated issues
form one of the key areas of polar law and will thus continue to
constitute the crux of legal, geopolitical, socio-economic, and
environmental developments. An overview of polar law questions and
topical developments was provided in the pioneering 2010 Polar Law
Textbook and in the 2013 Polar Law Textbook II, both of which covered a
number of topics relevant to the polar resources debate. Building on
that work, this new volume focuses on topical issues of law and resource
development in the polar regions, and covers topics of current and
emergent resource-related issues mainly from a legal and political
perspective.

Describing the emerging and unresolved issues related to the oceans and
the marine environment, this book presents the developments made in
marine science and policy since the implementation of the United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and implications for the
sustainable management of ocean areas and resources. This comprehensive
volume also provides a number of scientific, policy, and legal tools to
address such issues, and to ensure better science-based management of
the oceans. Topics covered include the impacts of human-induced climate
change on the oceans, the marine genetic resources debate, the current
legal framework for the oceans, and a comparative study of the legal
issues associated with outer space. Including practical examples and
worldwide case studies, this book is a valuable resource for policy
makers, students, and academics in marine science and policy, ocean
affairs, and the law of the sea.
