Polar law describes the normative frameworks that govern the
relationships between humans, States, Peoples, institutions, land
and resources in the Arctic and the Antarctic. These two regions
are superficially similar in terms of natural environmental
conditions but the overarching frameworks that apply are
fundamentally different. The Routledge Handbook of Polar Law
explores the legal orders in the Arctic and Antarctic in a
comparative perspective, identifying similarities as well as
differences. It points to a distinct discipline of "Polar law" as
the body of rules governing actors, spaces and institutions at the
Poles. Four main features define the collection: the
Arctic-Antarctic interface; the interaction between global,
regional and domestic legal regimes; the rights of Indigenous
Peoples; and the increasing importance of private law. While these
broad themes have been addressed to varying extents elsewhere, the
editors believe that this Handbook brings them together to create a
comprehensive (if never exhaustive) account of what constitutes
Polar law today. Leading scholars in public international and
private law as well as experts in related fields come together to
offer unique insights into polar law as a burgeoning discipline.
