This book conducts an examination of the international legal regime of
the continental shelf through the lens of international relations
(IR), with a primary focus on global governance theory. Presenting a
new perspective within the field of IR and international law, the book
offers new insights into the rules, principles, practices, and actors
that establish and govern social interactions and the management of
common affairs at the transnational level. The governance framework
within the continental shelf can encompass a wider scope than legal
laws alone, incorporating informal rules or potentially disregarding
formal “black letter” rules that may not be effectively applied in
practice. To exemplify how governance theory and other IR theories
contribute to the analysis of the legal regime concerning the
continental shelf, the book conducts an in-depth examination of three
significant issues: (i) the demarcation and delimitation of the
continental shelf, (ii) the rights and obligations of coastal States
in the continental shelf, and (iii) procedural matters related to the
continental shelf and international maritime adjudication. This book
will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of the law
of the sea, international law, global governance, and international
relations.
