Recenzje

This book is a real enrichment to the existing scholarly literature. The fundamental and century-old conflict between freedom of the seas and efforts to control maritime space is not presented by way of formalistic analysis of diplomatic conferences and legal instruments, but on the basis of historical developments, political struggles and current conflicts. By focusing on their contexts, ocean governance and the law of the sea thus become accessible in terms of their backgrounds, manifestations and potential future. The book is highly recommended reading for all those interested in ocean affairs.
