Sir Malcolm D. Evans, Principal, Regent's Park College, University of Oxford and Reece Lewis, Lecturer in Law, School of Law and Politics, Cardiff University, UK

‘Evans and Lewis make a compelling argument for a contextual treatment of islands under the law of the sea, and through that work advocate for a more flexible approach to categorising ‘islands’ and ‘rocks’ with respect to their maritime entitlements; an approach that is sympathetic and receptive to the changing needs of island states in the face of sea-level rise. [...] A splendid addition to any institutional or individual library—irrespective of whether the individual is an Islomaniac!’

• Contents: 1. The ‘regime of islands’ in international law 2. Contrasting islands with other maritime features 3. Definitional elements of an island 4. Islands and the delimitation of maritime zones 5. The contextual approach to islands 6. Conclusion Bibliography. Index
