| Description: |
The International Politics of Whaling examines contemporary whaling issues with an emphasis on three factors: our knowledge of whales and current whale populations and the impact of whaling; the actors and institutions involved in the debate over whaling; and the ethical dimension. |
| Synopsis: |
Whales: large, mysterious, intelligent -- and endangered. In 1986, aglobal moratorium on whaling was issued by the International WhalingCommission. However, that decision was not without controversy. Somecountries, such as Norway, continue to whale in defiance of the ban. Inthis fascinating book, Peter Stoett combines ecological sensitivitywith a hard assessment of the political realities of the internationalregime to examine this important issue.The International Politics of Whaling examines contemporarywhaling issues with an emphasis on three factors: our knowledge ofwhales and current whale populations and the impact of whaling; theactors and institutions involved in the debate over whaling; and theethical dimension. Reluctantly, he concludes that the current globalmoratorium on whaling is problematic and that we must focus instead onhabitat preservation in order to protect whales more effectively. |
