This book provides a diplomatic history of a turning point in
Antarctic governance: the 1991 adoption of comprehensive
environmental protection obligations for an entire continent, which
prohibited mining. Solving the mining issue became a symbol of
finding diplomatic consensus. The book combines historiographic
concepts of contingency, conjuncture and accidental events with
theories of structural, entrepreneurial and intellectual
leadership. Drawing on archival documents, it shows that Antarctic
governance is more adaptive than some imagine, and policy success
depends on the interplay of normative practices, serendipitous
events, public engagement and influential players able to exploit
those circumstances. Ultimately, the events revealed in this book
show that the protection of the Antarctic Treaty itself remains as
important as protecting the Antarctic environment.
