The Antarctic Treaty Regime: Law, Environment and Resources (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521100083)

The Antarctic Treaty regime is a uniquely successful legal system which preserves Antarctica for peaceful purposes and guarantees freedom of scientific research.

Later chapters consider protection of the marine environment and the regulation of mineral exploitation. The book concludes with a discussion of Antarctica and its development.
