Book Review: Elisabeth Mann Borgese and the Law of the Sea by Tirza Meyer.
- Authors
Ryan, Barry J.
- Abstract
Tirza Meyer's book, "Elisabeth Mann Borgese and the Law of the Sea," provides a comprehensive account of the Third United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III) and the negotiations surrounding the stretch of seabed beyond national jurisdiction. The book focuses on the perspective of Elisabeth Mann Borgese, who played a significant role in shaping the history of UNCLOS III. Meyer skillfully weaves together legal history and the personal story of Mann Borgese, highlighting the tensions between political idealism and self-interested power politics. The book also sheds light on unresolved historical mysteries and the complex international politics that influenced the development of the Law of the Sea.
