The Antarctic Treaty (1959) was adopted for the purpose of bringing
peace and stability to Antarctica and to facilitate cooperation in
scientific research conducted on and around the continent. It has
now been over fifty years since the signing of the treaty,
nevertheless security continues to drive and shape the laws and
policy regime which governs the region. Antarctic Security in the
Twenty-First Century: Legal and Policy Perspectives assess
Antarctic security from multiple legal and policy perspectives.
This book reviews the existing security construct in Antarctica,
critically assesses its status in the early part of the
Twenty-First century and considers how Antarctic security may be
viewed in both the immediate and distant future. The book assesses
emerging new security threats, including the impact of climate
change and the issues arising from increased human traffic to
Antarctica by scientists, tourists, and mariners. The authors call
into question whether the existing Antarctic security construct
framed around the Antarctic Treaty remains viable, or whether new
Antarctic paradigms are necessary for the future governance of the
region. The contributions to this volume engage with a security
discourse which has expanded beyond the traditional military domain
to include notions of security from the perspective of economics,
the environment and bio-security. This book provides a contemporary
and innovative approach to Antarctic issues which will be of
interest to scholars of international law, international relations,
security studies and political science as well as policy makers,
lawyers and government officials with an interest in the region.
