Most Interesting 2022: De Lucia, Oude Elferink, & Nguyen: International Law and Marine Areas beyond National Jurisdiction: Reflections on Justice, Space, Knowledge and Power

The fourth in our series "Most Interesting 2022":

Vito De Lucia, Alex Oude Elferink & Lan Ngoc Nguyen, International Law and Marine Areas beyond National Jurisdiction: Reflections on Justice, Space, Knowledge and Power (Brill | Nijhoff 2022)

The edited volume revisits important issues linked to areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) from the novel perspective of justice, space, knowledge and power, giving a voice to alternative approaches in understanding the legal framework that regulates these areas. The book, bringing together leading scholars in the field, creates a bridge between the law of the sea, environmental law, human rights, dispute settlement, legal philosophy and critical legal theory. The edited volume is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to explore new layers of the regulation and management of ABNJ.
