The author introduces the Antarctic Treaty as well as the Antarctic Treaty System and elaborates on the Convention for the Regulation of Antarctic Mineral Resource Activities (CRAMRA). By comparing CRAMRA to the 1991 Protocol, she concludes that future discussions on Antarctic mineral exploration would learn from the experiences of CRAMRA.
In this book Professor Orrego Vicuna examines in depth the legal framework as it relates to the exploitation of Antarctic minerals.
This book explores China's growing strength at the poles and how it could shift the global balance of power. The strategic plans of China are of interest to a broad audience of scholars, policymakers, and international entities, and this well-researched work will be an important resource.
An examination of marine pollution relative to questions of national sovereignty and pollution control. Also management of Antarctic resources is examined from legal, political, economic, environmental and scientific perspectives. Gives an up to date (1981) review of the political complexities of the Antarctic and the weaknesses of the region's system of governance under the Antarctic treaty.
The Antarctic Treaty regime is a uniquely successful legal system which preserves Antarctica for peaceful purposes and guarantees freedom of scientific research. This volume based on an international conference, examines the legal, political and environmental issues that it raises. After setting the scene of the Antarctic environment, the early chapters discuss the legal issues involved in the Treaty. Later chapters consider protection of the marine environment and the regulation of mineral exploitation. The book concludes with a discussion of Antarctica and its development.
Proceedings of a conference whose multidisciplinary approach provide an overview of the debate about appropriate future environmental protection of Antarctica, particularly in relation to possible exploitation of its little known mineral resources.
This book provides a diplomatic history of a turning point in Antarctic governance: the 1991 adoption of comprehensive environmental protection obligations for an entire continent, which prohibited mining. Solving the mining issue became a symbol of finding diplomatic consensus. The book combines historiographic concepts of contingency, conjuncture and accidental events with theories of structural, entrepreneurial and intellectual leadership. Drawing on archival documents, it shows that Antarctic governance is more adaptive than some imagine, and policy success depends on the interplay of normative practices, serendipitous events, public engagement and influential players able to exploit those circumstances. Ultimately, the events revealed in this book show that the protection of the Antarctic Treaty itself remains as important as protecting the Antarctic environment.
