Description
Book SynopsisUnconventional Lawmaking in the Law of the Sea explores the ways that actors operating at the international level develop standards of behaviour to regulate varied maritime activities beyond traditional lawmaking. This 'soft law' is now prolific in ocean governance, so it is vital to consider its significance for the law of the sea.
Trade ReviewThe major strength of this book is in the analysis of the interaction between formal and informal lawmaking. It will be of value to anyone interested in how lawmaking is constantly evolving to deal with the challenges of the modern age. * Kevin McVeigh, The Law Society *
