The Convention, adopted in 1982, generally addressed the issue but did not consider more detailed development of the legal regime for the continental shelf. In The Regulation of Continental Shelf Development: Rethinking International Standards, leading experts from around the world identify and explore a multitude of the unresolved legal concerns related to the continental shelf.  The varied voices of experts collected within The Regulation of Continental Shelf Development: Rethinking International Standards offer a timely understanding of past, present, and future issues related to the continental shelf. The volume is a must-read for all those interested in environmental law and the law of the sea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, The Regulation of Continental Shelf Development: Rethinking International Standards provides considerable food for thought for those wrestling with legal, scientific and policy issues associated with the exploitation of continental shelf resources. The book provides a lively, erudite, informed and informative commentary on the system of regulation underpinning these issues. As with its (now rather extensive set of) companion volumes in this popular series, this volume encompasses a range of papers and approaches. Some are relatively brief and conversational, others are extremely thorough and detailed; all are insightful and offer an interesting introduction and treatment of their constituent topics. As the Deepwater Horizon disaster attests, there remain considerable gaps in the legal regime governing the continental shelf, numerous legal approaches and philosophies and a considerable number of emerging industries and sectors for which there is a relatively limited degree of external oversight and regulation. These remain issues that will clearly require hardnegotiated solutions in the coming years. This comprehensive, helpful and highly informative collection nonetheless offers a valuable and highly recommended insight into current and future regulatory approaches.
