Andrew Serdy (Univ. of Southampton) & Suzanne Lalonde (Univ. of Montreal) have published Research Handbook on the Law of the Sea (Edward Elgar Publishing 2026). Here's the abstract: In light of the challenges facing the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and its implementing agreements, this Research Handbook explores how issues including climate change, technological developments and increasing geopolitical instability threaten our seas. Contributing authors undertake a comprehensive examination of the foundational regimes outlined in the law of the sea, from traditional rules such as the freedom of navigation on the high seas, to emerging developments such as the issue of unmanned ships. Chapters cover key themes, namely the spatial and substantive limits of maritime zones, the new challenges in navigating the high seas regime, the legal regime for the seabed, emerging issues and litigating the law of the sea.
