Tamada & Zou: Implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea: State Practice of China and Japan

Dai Tamada
(Kobe Univ. - Law) & Keyuan Zou (Dalian Maritime Univ. - Law) have published Implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea: State Practice of China and Japan (Springer 2021). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:
This book analyses he implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in the light of state practices of China and Japan. The special character of the book can be found in its structure of comparative analysis of the practices of China and Japan in each part. The focus is on historical aspects (Part I), implementation of the UNCLOS (Part II), navigation (Part III), mid-ocean archipelagos (Part IV), the marine environment (Part V), and dispute settlement (Part VI). By taking this approach, the book elucidates a variety of aspects of history, difficulties, problems, and controversies arising from the implementation of the UNCLOS by the two nations. Furthermore, contributors from China and Japan tend to show different perspectives on the UNCLOS, which, by clarifying the need for further debate, are expected to contribute to the continuing cooperation between the academics of the two states.
