In the late twentieth century, as the United Nations struggled to
come up with a new legal system for the oceans, one woman saw the
opportunity to promote radical new ideas of justice and
internationalism. Ocean governance expert Elisabeth Mann Borgese
(1918-2002) spent decades working with the United Nations Law of
the Sea Convention. Throughout this sprawling series of global
conferences, she navigated allegiances and enmities, intrigues and
setbacks, fighting determinedly to develop a just ocean order.
Featuring extensive research and new interviews with Mann Borgese's
colleagues and family, this book explores timeless questions of
justice and international collaboration and asks whether the
extraordinary drive and vision of a single person can influence the
course of international law.
