Maritime Security and the Law of the Sea

Klein’s approach throughout is rigorous, incorporates at each step deftly-balanced discussion of the existing literature and is written in a clear and accessible style. Maritime Security and the Law of the Sea thus represents an important contribution to a growing field and will be of interest to scholars and policy-makers alike. * Douglas Guilfoyle, Cambridge Law Journal *…well-researched and well-written…It demonstrates keen insight not only into the practicalities of maritime security, but also into the legal weaknesses of the various treaty regimes. * Cameron A. Miles, British Yearbook of International Law *This book is of equal use to both lawyers working on maritime/maritime security issues, as well as those working on policy or implementation issues, as it explains both perspectives (which may differ markedly) and how they fit together. * Andrew Forbes, Australian Journal of Maritime & Ocean Affairs *It is a welcome addition to the voluminous Law of the Sea (LOS) literature, given its pithy but comprehensive portrayal of the intersection between maritime law and post 9-11 security concerns. * ASIL *In breaking down the component parts of the law of the sea and scrutinizing it through the lenses of maritime security, Prof. Klein provides us with a well-written and indispensable volume that aids in a more complete understanding of a complex body of law. * Maximo Q. Meija Jr. Journal of Maritime Affairs (World Maritime University) *
