James Kraska
(US Naval War College), Ronan Long (World Maritime Univ.), & Myron H. Nordquist (US Naval War College) have published Peaceful Maritime Engagement in East Asia and the Pacific Region (Brill | Nijhof 2022). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:
Peaceful Maritime Engagement in East Asia and the Pacific Region includes contributions from the most influential figures in the law of the sea to provide context and direction for developing maritime governance in East Asia and the Pacific Ocean. Peaceful management of disputes includes cooperation over deep seabed mining, negotiations for a legally binding instrument on biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction, contending approaches to baselines and East Asia maritime boundary disputes, freedom of navigation and maritime law enforcement. Chapters also explore new interpretations for preservation of the marine environment and the special problems posed by marine plastics and nexus between the ocean and climate change.
