Description: Handbook on the Politics of Antarctica, Hardcover by Dodds, Klaus (EDT); Hemmings, Alan D. (EDT); Roberts, Peder (EDT), ISBN 1784717673, ISBN-13 9781784717674, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The Antarctic and Southern Ocean are hotspots for contemporary endeavours to oversee the last frontier of the Earth. The Handbook on the Politics of Antarctica offers a wide-ranging and comprehensive overview of the governance, geopolitics, international law, cultural studies and history of the region. Written by leading experts, the Handbook brings together the very best interdisciplinary social science and humanities scholarship on the Antarctic and Southern Ocean, offering a definitive statement on why the worlds only uninhabited continent attracts global attention in terms of science, politics and natural resources - and what can be done to manage it.
Four sections take readers from the earliest human encounters to contemporary resource exploitation and climate change through thematic and critical analyses: the exploration, exploitation and mapping of Antarctica; its emergence as an object of global interest; human behaviour and environmental change in response to managerial interventions; and a contemplation of possible futures for Antarctica. All topics are covered in accessible yet authoritative contributions.
Specialist readers in polar regions, public international law, geography, geopolitics and international relations will appreciate this uniquely comprehensive and up-to-date examination of politics in and around Antarctica, as will scholars with interest in areas beyond national jurisdiction, peace/co-operation studies and the interface between public policy and science.
