Business, Economics & LawApril 2022The law of the sea
Fourth edition
by Robin Churchill, Vaughan Lowe, Amy Sander, Iain Scobbie
For nearly forty years, The law of the sea has been regarded as an authoritative and standard work on the subject, combining detailed analysis and relevant, practical examples with a clear and engaging style. Completely revised and updated, this new edition will be a vital resource for anyone with an interest in maritime affairs. The book provides a rigorous analysis of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the many other legal instruments that regulate human activities at sea, giving a fully updated account of the numerous decisions of international courts and tribunals in recent years. It also traces the historical background to the law and its broader political, economic and environmental context. The new edition includes substantially expanded coverage of contemporary threats faced by the marine environment from human activities, discussing how the law of the sea addresses such critical matters as the loss of marine biodiversity, the effects of climate change on the oceans and the vast amounts of plastic polluting the sea. The law of the sea is written by a team of highly qualified authors, drawing on their extensive experience of teaching and researching maritime law, as well as their practical experience in advising governments and acting as counsel and arbitrators in international litigation.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2021Statelessness, governance, and the problem of citizenship
by Tendayi Bloom, Lindsey N. Kingston
When a person is not recognised as a citizen anywhere, they are typically referred to as 'stateless'. This can give rise to challenges both for individuals and for the institutions that try to govern them. Statelessness, governance, and the problem of citizenship breaks from tradition by relocating the 'problem' to be addressed from one of statelessness to one of citizenship. It problematises the governance of citizenship - and the use of citizenship as a governance tool - and traces the 'problem of citizenship' from global and regional governance mechanisms to national and even individual levels. With contributions from activists, affected persons, artists, lawyers, academics, and national and international policy experts, this volume rejects the idea that statelessness and stateless persons are a problem. It argues that the reality of statelessness helps to uncover a more fundamental challenge: the problem of citizenship.

A practical guide to making a new country

From Scotland to Somaliland, there have always been campaigns for independence and the creation of new states. This book provides a step-by-step guide to becoming an independent country, from organising a referendum and winning it, to receiving official international recognition, establishing a currency, and even entering the Eurovision song contest. The book delves into the legal, economic, and political problems of creating new states, and uses historical examples and anecdotes from all over the world to illustrate the obstacles to these campaigns.

Business, Economics & LawMay 2023Cyber-espionage in international law
Silence speaks
by Thibault Moulin
While espionage between states is a practice dating back centuries, the emergence of the internet revolutionised the types and scale of intelligence activities, creating drastic new challenges for the traditional legal frameworks governing them. This book argues that cyber-espionage has come to have an uneasy status in law: it is not prohibited, because spying does not result in an internationally wrongful act, but neither is it authorised or permitted, because states are free to resist foreign cyber-espionage activities. Rather than seeking further regulation, however, governments have remained purposefully silent, leaving them free to pursue cyber-espionage themselves at the same time as they adopt measures to prevent falling victim to it. Drawing on detailed analysis of state practice and examples from sovereignty, diplomacy, human rights and economic law, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the current legal status of cyber-espionage, as well as future directions for research and policy. It is an essential resource for scholars and practitioners in international law, as well as anyone interested in the future of cyber-security.
