See moreThis book takes a multidisciplinary and international approach to the Straits. Using specific examples (Artics, Dover, Gibraltar, Hormuz, Kerch, Malacca, Messina, Oresund, etc.), the historical, legal, geopolitical, economic and environmental issues of the Straits are highlighted.
Around 90% of international trade (in terms of tonnage) is carried out by sea, and these flows use the many natural or man-made straits (maritime and transoceanic canals). As both transverse and longitudinal passageways, straits play a fundamental role in maritime relations. International Straits: A Multidisciplinary Approach takes a multidisciplinary and international approach to the Straits: legal, geographical, historical, environmental, economic and geopolitical.
It examines their functions and the issues associated with them, both now and in the past, using specific examples such as Artics, Dover, Gibraltar, Hormuz, Kerch, Malacca, Messina, and Oresund.
