Opis

Canada and the International Seabed is the first in-depth study of the development of Canada's policy on deep seabed mining. Elizabeth Riddell-Dixon argues that Canada's position was determined by certain influential actors in the federal government. Lawyers in the Department of External Affairs and officers from the Department of Energy, Mines, and Resources formed the dominant coalition in the interaction between federal-provincial decision-makers, labour unions, and business groups at the United Nation's Third International Conference on the Law of the Sea.
