About this book
A plethora of international bodies and international instruments regulate, influence and shape what is happening in the oceans. The many regimes involved and the resulting legal cacophony contribute to persisting challenges in ocean governance. Regime Interaction in Ocean Governance: Problems, Theories and Methods identifies the problems raised by regime interaction in ocean governance, discusses the relevant theoretical approaches, and explores possible solutions. It ultimately highlights how regime interaction in international law, specifically in oceans matters, not only consists of a problem to be solved, but also of a phenomenon to be better understood and benefited from.

Reviews
"While there has been a good deal of scholarly debate respecting these issues since
the mid-1990s, the present volume’s exploration of this issue in the ocean governance
context is timely in light of the ongoing biodiversity beyond national
jurisdictions (BBNJ) negotiations, recent judicial decisions and inter-State disputes
that have foregrounded the issue of interacting legal orders in the law
of the sea....The volume succeeds so well because it leaves the reader with no doubt
of the importance and continuing relevance of its subject. In this regard, the
volume provides more than a starting point, but substantially advances our
understanding of ocean governance as a complex and dynamic normative
system." -Neil Craik, Ocean Yearbook 36, Brill | Nijhoff, 2022
