After analysing relevant provisions in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the Commission’s Rules of Procedure compared with the practice of States and the Commission, Busch raises the overall question if the possibility for other States to block the work of the Commission may in fact be undermining the mandate and functions of the Commission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It would be invidious of me to try to summarize the content of the book, given the breadth and detail into which the author has gone. I can only commend this book as a reference guide to all those States affected by the law of the sea which, as the author points out by her examples, includes all States, both cobusbastal and landlocked.\" - Richard Haworth, School of Public Administration, Dalhousie University  \"The interesting contribution of this particular book is that it explores whether other states (apart from the state with the extended continental shelf) have a right to be involved in the whole process of determining whether such state has an extended continental shelf. […] the book is an interesting read and an important contribution to the literature on the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles.\" - Edwin Egede, School of Law and Politics, Cardiff University  \"With the detailed and deep discussion of the role of judicial institutions, the author believes that, 'If the potential of judicial institutions is fully realized, they can play an instrumental role in ensuring the compliance and enforcement of international law, thereby ensuring a rule-based system of maritime security governance'...Therefore, this book is “proposing coordinated efforts by all States for the operationalization of judicial institutions for the common goal of combating maritime terrorism.\" - Yin Yang, Law School, Sun Yat-sen University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eACKNOWLEDGEMENTS LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS AND SHORT FORMS LIST OF TABLES CONVENTIONS AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL INSTRUMENTS PART I – SETTING THE SCENE 1\tINTRODUCTION 1.1\tINTRODUCTION 1.2\tTHE LEGAL REGIME OF THE CONTINENTAL SHELF IN A NUTSHELL 1.3\tTHE OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHER STATES BE INVOLVED IN A COASTAL STATE’S ESTABLISHMENT OF OCS LIMITS 1.4\tSTRUCTURE AND OUTLINE 2\tDEVELOPING A LEGAL REGIME FOR THE CONTINENTAL SHELF AND ITS LIMITS 2.1\tINTRODUCTION 2.2\tTHE CONTINENTAL SHELF PRIOR TO UNCLOS III 2.3\tTHE THIRD UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON THE LAW OF THE SEA (UNCLOS III) 2.3.1\tIntroduction 2.3.2\tNegotiating the outer limits of the continental shelf 2.3.3\tEstablishing a Continental Shelf Boundary Commission 2.4\tCONCLUDING REMARKS 3\tTHE COMMISSION ON THE LIMITS OF THE CONTINENTAL SHELF (CLCS) 3.1\tINTRODUCTION 3.2\tTHE SUBMISSION PROCEDURE TO THE CLCS 3.2.1\tIntroduction 3.2.2\tThe role and functions of the CLCS 3.2.3\tThe ordinary course of making a submission to the CLCS 3.2.4\tThe time limit for making submissions (and re-submissions) to the CLCS 3.3\tTHE DOCUMENTS OF THE CLCS 3.3.1\tIntroduction 3.3.2\tThe steering documents of the CLCS 3.3.3\tOutputs by the CLCS 3.4\tTRANSPARENCY, CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY IN ESTABLISHING OCS LIMITS 3.5\tCONCLUSIONS 4\tINTERNATIONAL DISPUTES AND MECHANISMS FOR THEIR SETTLEMENT 4.1\tINTRODUCTION 4.2\tWHAT IS A DISPUTE?
