only textbook available on Aviation Law This is an undergraduate

This fourth edition addresses certain developments, including the
1996 Protocol to the 1976 Limitation Convention, which have come
into effect since publication of the previous edition. The chapters
on limitation of liability for passenger claims and in relation to
the carriage of goods have been updated, as has the chapter on
limitation regimes worldwide. The book also focuses upon the
practicalities of seeking to limit by reference to case law and
procedural rules.
During the 1990s there were two major developments to the Common EU
Maritime Transport Policy (CMTP): the establishment of European
Union policies on safe seas and on shortsea shipping respectively.
This book critically analyzes and appraises these and other
developments to the CMTP in this period, while also studying policy
Europeanization. It focuses on both the economic environment of
maritime transport and the interaction of policy makers and
organized interests during the policy-making process, with an
emphasis on the political dimensions. By developing an innovative
economic model, the book examines the ways in which governmental
and non-governmental policy makers and their ideas interact within
the EU's structure and dynamics, and shows how these factors
account for why, when and how the specific common EU policy has
developed.
Written by a combination of top academics, industry experts and
leading practitioners, this book offers a detailed insight into
both unimodal and multimodal carriage of goods. It provides a
comprehensive and thoroughly practical guide to the issues that
matter today on what is a very complex area of law. From the papers
delivered at the 8th International Colloquium organised by Swansea
Law School's prestigious Institute of International Shipping and
Trade Law, this original work considers current opinions, trends
and issues arising from contracts of carriage of goods by sea,
land, air, and multi-modal combinations of these, not to mention
the legal position of vital participants such as freight
forwarders, terminal operators and cargo insurers. The topics under
discussion range through issues such as paperwork, piracy,
liability for defective containers, damage in transit, the CMR
Convention, and the possible effects of the Rotterdam Rules. An
indispensable resource for transport lawyers, industry
professionals, academics and post-graduate students of maritime
law.
