This is the first of the two books resulted from an international conference ‘The World Ocean in Globalization: Challenges for Marine Regions”, hosted by the Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI) on 21-23 August 2008. Many of the chapters are updated and refined versions of papers delivered at that conference, supplemented by chapters on additional key topics. As is stressed in the Preface by Davor Vidas “Our objective has gone beyond merely preparing a set of conference proceedings. We have aimed to produce two related, highly integrated volumes that present a state-of-the-art report on many legal and policy issues for seas and oceans that have been emerging in the wake of increasing globalisation”.
