Content:
The Struggle for Law in the Oceans argues that by following a misleading isolationist narrative and not acceding to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the United States has harmed and continues to harm its interests. The book makes a compelling case for acceding to UNCLOS at the earliest opportunity
