This powerful book stands on its head the most venerated tradition
in international law and discusses the challenges of scarcity,
sovereignty, and territorial temptation. Newly emergent resources,
accessible through global climate change, discovery, or
technological advancement, highlight time-tested problems of
sovereignty and challenge liberal internationalism's promise of
beneficial or shared solutions. From the High Arctic to the
hyper-arid reaches of the Atacama Desert, from the South China Sea
to the history of the law of the sea, from doctrinal and scholarly
treatments to institutional forms of global governance, the
historically recurring problem of territorial temptation in the
ageless age of scarcity calls into question the future of the
global commons, and illuminates the tendency among states to share
resources, but only when necessary.
