Pollution, Politics, and International Law: Tankers at Sea is a compelling exploration of the global struggle to manage and protect the oceans in the face of economic ambitions and environmental crises. Centering on oil pollution from vessels, this book provides a detailed account of international efforts to address the environmental damage caused by tanker accidents and oil spills, such as those involving the Torrey Canyon and Amoco Cadiz. Against the backdrop of rising maritime traffic and the pivotal role of oil in the global economy, the authors delve into the high-stakes negotiations at the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the International Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO), shedding light on the intense political and corporate rivalries that influence ocean governance.With remarkable clarity, the book weaves together historical and technical insights to present a nuanced analysis of the competing interests at play—governmental, intergovernmental, and corporate. It examines the critical intersection of economic imperatives, environmental preservation, and international law, highlighting the challenges of creating a unified managerial regime for the oceans. Through its vivid narrative and authoritative research, the book not only underscores the urgent need for effective action but also captures the drama and significance of this "silent war" over the planet’s vast maritime resources. A must-read for environmental scholars and policymakers, this work serves as both a vital reference and a call to action for safeguarding the future of the world's oceans.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1979.

Governing Global Networks argues that most international regimes are grounded in states' mutual cooperation, and not in the dictates of the most powerful states. It focuses on the regimes for four important international industries - shipping, air transport, telecommunications and postal services. Of particular importance to these regimes have been states' interests in both the free flow of commerce and their policy autonomy. The authors examine the relationship between these potentially conflicting goals. In particular they trace the impact of deregulation, which has led some states increasingly to place gains from economic openness ahead of their desire to maintain a high degree of control of their own economies; and to the decline of the traditional cartel elements of these regimes. This analysis is an important contribution to theoretical debates between neo-realists and neo-liberals in the study of international organisations and international political economy.
