Overview
This work provides a comprehensive description and analysis of the decision process at UNCLOS III and shows how the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea was determined by that process. As such, the work complements a large number of substantive legal commentaries on the convention by providing a detailed description and analysis of how the various components of the Convention were shaped, including the major and minor trade-offs, the impacts of different negotiating strategies, the impacts of interpersonal, interdelegation and intercoalition interactions, and the lessons UNCLOS III teaches us about the capacity of the international system to manage and regulate the use of a global common.

Reviews
' [...] Global Ocean Politics proves that it remains possible to cover substantial new ground in analyzing UNCLOS III. Among the assets of the book are its clear presentation of hypotheses and description of the negotiating process. Although its analysis is based on a political science approach, it is invaluable for the international lawyer interested in the dynamics of the international legal system.'<br>Alex G. Oude Elferink, Netherlands International Law Review, (1999). <br>' [...] these reflections of a long-standing expert commentator on the law of the sea make a unique contribution to the monographs on the law of the sea, and will have an increasingly important role in the future for those coming fresh to the work of UNCLOS III and seeking a clear account of why it did what it did. For a law library, it is a sound investment.'<br>Vaughan Lowe, International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law, 14:3 (1999).
