"... a welcome revision of a valuable book...." (Aslib Book Guide, August 2000)

Die Ozeane, die Antarktis, der Weltraum und die Atmosphäre sind keiner Regierung unterstellt, aber ihr Zustand ist wichtig für Überleben der Menschheit. So erhebt sich die Frage, wie die rund 180 Staaten der Erde zusammenarbeiten können, um diese Allgemeingüter zu schützen und zu erhalten. Diese erste systematische, vergleichende Analyse der staatenlosen Regionen erfaßt gesetzliche Regelungen, die unter anderem die Ozeane, das Südpolargebiet, Müll auf Erdumlaufbahnen, die Ozonschicht und Klimaveränderungen betreffen. (03/00)
