It develops and applies the tools of regime analysis tothe question of how the various global commons are, or fail to be,governed effectively. Since the publication of the first edition of The Global Commonsthere have been many developments particularly in the area ofclimate change and sustainable development e.g. Agenda 21. This newedition has been extensively re-written and expanded to take intoaccount recent developments and includes new conclusions on theconnections between global and local commons. Involving the firstsystematic comparative analysis of governance regimes, the bookcovers: * The Third Law of the Sea Convention, the deep seabed, whaling andmarine pollution regimes * Antarctica and the Madrid Protocol on EnvironmentalProtection * Outer space regimes for weapons, the operation of satellites andthe emerging problem of orbital debris * The global atmosphere, the Montreal Protocol for the protectionof the stratospheric ozone layer and the developing climate changeregime and the Kyoto Protocol. The first edition received widespread praise eg "a comprehensiveand incisive review of much relevant scholarship and case studymaterial" (Area) and "a must for every reading list" (Progress inHuman Geography) and this latest volume will also be invaluable forresearchers and students of politics, environmental management,international relations and political geography.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK'Global Commons’ refers to resource domains or areas that lie outside of the political reach of any one State, including sea areas beyond national jurisdiction and Antarctica. The concept of ‘global commons’ is a living concept and can accommodate, over time, other commons at the international level, such as biodiversity and generic resources. The outlook for the global marine commons is not encouraging: fishery resources continue to deplete, marine biodiversity continues to reduce, and plastic wastes in the oceans continue to increase. In international law, there are legal regimes governing global marine commons, the most important of which is the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC). Effective as of 1994 LOSC governs the high seas, international seabed and its resources, marine environmental protection, and fisheries. Global Commons and the Law of the Sea offers intellectual discussions on global marine commons. It contains six parts respectively addressing the principle of the common heritage of mankind (CHM), freedoms of high seas, deep sea mining and international seabed, area beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) governance, management of geoengineering and generic resources, and recent developments in the polar regions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAntarctica, the high seas and deep seabed, the atmosphere, and space are increasingly accessible - and exploited - resource domains. Collectively known as the global commons, they represent a new and profound challenge for international law and institutions. In The Global Commons, Susan Buck considers the unique physical, legal, management, and policy problems associated with these areas. The book is a clear, useful introduction to the subject that will be of interest to general readers as well as to students in international relations, international law, and environmental law and policy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book provides a unique analysis of the complex relationship between governance and the global commons. It has a specific reference to the dynamic and growing outer space economy and society, and how experience in the maritime sector (which exhibits many of the same issues and challenges as outer space) can be useful in suggesting moves forward in policy-making and design. This book fills a large gap in the literature of both governance and the development of outer space. Whilst the maritime sector has a long history of debate, albeit little in terms of governance and policy-making, outer space has much less and what there has been, commonly focused upon technical considerations. The importance of this book is that the failures of maritime governance need to be avoided in the outer space sector which exhibits many of the same issues particularly those related to the global commons. Innovative and exciting, this book will be of interest to academics studying corporate governance, business management, and space capitalism.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow can the global environment be safeguarded in the absence of a world government? In the vanguard of efforts to address this critical question, Oran R. Young draws on environmental issues to explore the nature of international governance. Young's analysis invokes the distinction between "governance," a social function involving the management of interdependent individuals or groups, and "government," a set of formal organizations that makes and enforces rules.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow should we govern the commercialization of humanity ́s common heritage? International Law has developed important institutions of global governance and distributive justice to put resources such as the deep sea bed and outer space beyond state ownership, preserving them as part of a common heritage for the benefit of all humanity and future generations. But as the technology of exploitation becomes viable, these areas are coming under threat from important states and Big Business. The political, moral, legal and environmental concerns arise and must be addressed - before it is too late. Offering readers a clear introduction to this field, the authors bring the various legal regimes under a single conceptual framework and consider what justice requires in response to the dangers posed by the scramble to exploit our common heritage. They develop a distinctive account of the interstitial legal and moral reasoning that can and should shape arguments about global commons, global justice and international law, and demonstrate how normative arguments of distributive justice can be relevant to both international law and international politics. Arguing for the centrality of distributive issues to global justice, they extend the 'practical turn' in international political theory in new and exciting directions, showing how global commons ideas could be made central to many important traditions in political theory.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis comprehensive Handbook serves as a unique synthesis and resource for understanding how analytical frameworks developed within the literature assist in understanding the nature and management of commons resources. Such frameworks include those related to Institutional Analysis and Development, Social-Ecological Systems, and Polycentricity, among others. The book aggregates and analyses these frameworks to lay a foundation for exploring how they apply according to scholars across a wide range of disciplines. It includes an exploration of the unique problems arising in different disciplines of commons study, including natural resources (forests, oceans, water, energy, ecosystems, etc), economics, law, governance, the humanities, and intellectual property. It shows how the analytical frameworks discussed early in the book facilitate interdisciplinarity within commons scholarship. This interdisciplinary approach within the context of analytical frameworks helps facilitate a more complete understanding of the similarities and differences faced by commons resource users and managers, the usefulness of the commons lens as an analytical tool for studying resource management problems, and the best mechanisms by which to formulate policies aimed at addressing such problems.
