The Antarctic and Southern Ocean are hotspots for contemporary
endeavours to oversee 'the last frontier' of the Earth. The
Handbook on the Politics of Antarctica offers a wide-ranging and
comprehensive overview of the governance, geopolitics,
international law, cultural studies and history of the region.
Written by leading experts, the Handbook brings together the very
best interdisciplinary social science and humanities scholarship on
the Antarctic and Southern Ocean, offering a definitive statement
on why the world's only uninhabited continent attracts global
attention in terms of science, politics and natural resources - and
what can be done to manage it. Four sections take readers from the
earliest human encounters to contemporary resource exploitation and
climate change through thematic and critical analyses: the
exploration, exploitation and mapping of Antarctica; its emergence
as an object of global interest; human behaviour and environmental
change in response to managerial interventions; and a contemplation
of possible futures for Antarctica. All topics are covered in
accessible yet authoritative contributions. Specialist readers in
polar regions, public international law, geography, geopolitics and
international relations will appreciate this uniquely comprehensive
and up-to-date examination of politics in and around Antarctica, as
will scholars with interest in areas beyond national jurisdiction,
peace/co-operation studies and the interface between public policy
and science. Contributors include: A.E. Abdenur, D.G. Ainley, A.
