Blue Legalities

Discover the fascinating intersection of law and the ocean in Blue Legalities by Irus Braverman, published in 2020. This thought-provoking book spans 277 pages and delves into how our understanding of legal frameworks is shaped by the vastness of the sea and its diverse inhabitants. Inspired by the blue turn in the social sciences and humanities, Braverman and an array of interdisciplinary contributors examine a rich tapestry of topics, including militarization, Maori cosmologies, island building in the South China Sea, and the advent of underwater robotics. Blue Legalities invites readers to rethink the regulatory structures that govern our oceans and highlights the ongoing contestations surrounding them. Perfect for those interested in law, environmental studies, and oceanic cultures, this book is a must-read for anyone wanting to engage with contemporary legal challenges in maritime contexts.
