description: In this book Douglas Johnston provides a synthesis of all disciplines relevant to any aspect of boundary-making. He outlines the general theory of boundary-making reviews the modern history of all modes of boundary-making in the ocean and provides a theoretical framework for the analysis and evaluation of ocean boundary claims practices arrangements and settlements. The author suggests that as bilateral treaty-making continues significant boundary delimitation patterns will emerge some of which may prove useful in non-oceanic contexts of boundary-making and natural resource management such as Antarctica airspace and outerspace and international lakes and rivers.
