| Abstract |
"BLUE LEGALITIES contends that the world's oceans have created space for multiple complex and overlapping regimes of governance--particularly as climate change and technological development are transforming the oceans and our relationship to them. States and corporations frequently imagine oceans simultaneously as a global commons and as a repository of profitable commodities. The editors and contributors to this collection consider multiple realms of ocean law and governance, extending beyond legislation to consider regulatory and administrative systems, scientific practices, governmental frameworks, and methods of geographical reasoning that shape legalities in the ocean"-- Provided by publisher. |
