First published in 1986, The International Politics of Antarctica provides a comprehensive examination of the growing international interest in Antarctica and the political positions of the nations and organisations involved.
Author Peter J. Beck explores the historical foundations of Antarctic affairs, tracing the development of the Antarctic Treaty System and examining key issues surrounding the governance of the continent. The book addresses the management of marine and mineral resources, the role of the United Nations, and the influence of non-government organisations such as Greenpeace International in shaping Antarctic policy and debate.
Also discussed are the Antarctic implications of the 1982 Falklands War and the broader relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union during the 1980s, offering valuable insight into the geopolitical forces that have influenced the region.
With its international perspective, this reissued edition remains highly relevant for students, researchers, and readers interested in the political, legal, economic, and environmental issues surrounding Antarctica, both historically and in the modern era.
