"This book arose out of a discussion between the Centre for International Law (CIL) of the National University of Singapore and the K.G. Jebsen Centre for the Law of the Sea (JCLOS) at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, in Tromso. CIL and JCLOS decided to organise jointly an international conference in Singapore in December 2015 to examine the governance of Arctic shipping."--ECIP foreword.

Governance of Arctic Shipping: Balancing Rights and Interests of Arctic States and User States examines potential cooperative mechanisms for balancing rights and interests of Arctic States and user States in light of experiences with Southeast Asian cooperative mechanisms. This volume analyzes the applicable international regulatory framework with special attention to the roles of the International Maritime Organization and the Arctic Council. The rights, interests, positions and practice of Arctic coastal States are compared with those of user States, with particular emphasis on China, Japan and South Korea. The final chapters analyze cooperative arrangements in Southeast Asia, in order to explore if these could act as models to enhance cooperation among coastal States and user States in the Arctic.
