SPRINGERBRIEFS IN LAW THE SHIPPING INDUSTRY O...

This book examines the corpus of status quo environmental legal regime  geographical issues and
redundant stakeholder claims  which persist in the Arctic. It examines multifarious theories
relating not only to conflicting and opposing interests  but also to parties to whom the
shipping industry should be accountable. The unique aspect of this book is the Corporate Social
responsibility analysis pertaining to the Arctic and alternatives that strike a balance between
the increased commercialization of the shipping industry and the laws and concepts of ocean
governance. The book relevantly puts forward the concept of ocean governance and to what extent
it can be addressed in terms of the Arctic. What distinguishes this book from others is the
fact that it is not limited to examining the effects of climate change and how it is reshaping
the way scholars assume the Arctic will be in the near future. Rather it creates a transparent
nexus between opposing claims and increasing commercial interests and proceeds to scrutinize
the efforts of the Arctic Council and individual Arctic coastal states. In this context  the
book follows a given equation based on initial theories and how the opposing claims and
increasing commercialization side of the equation can be balanced with the appropriate legal
norm. It also reflects on the critical aspects of hard law and soft law which are two opposite
ends of the legal pole and core elements of any legal spectrum. The book  after reflecting on
those two elements  finally proposes a new Arctic legal regime  which is intricate and detailed
and is basically a hierarchy based on logic and reasoning. In doing so  it imports a pristine
theory for a pristine territory.
