International Law for Antarctica

Know about the book -

International Law for Antarctica is written by Francesco Francioni and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9041103643 (ISBN 10) and 9789041103642 (ISBN 13).

The volume is the result of an on-going research project on the Antarctic regime being carried out in various Italian universities and open to the participation of scholars and experts from different countries. Two concomitant factors led to the undertaking of the project: the increasing interest aroused by Antarctica in the scientific community, and the dynamic evolution of the Antarctic question in international law and politics. The result is something different from simply a second edition of a previous book, as it was clear that certain topics required entirely new treatment, especially environmental protection, liability, and institutional development. The editors tried to carefully co-ordinate the 21 individual contributions so as to properly cover the whole range of topics while at the same time preserving the pluralistic character of the book.
