The International Politics of Whaling
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. Reluctantly, he concludes that the current global moratorium on whaling is problematic and that we must focus instead on habitat preservation in order to protect whales more effectively.

Useful Book for Teaching
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a very evenhanded description of current issues surrounding whaling and I have found it useful in teaching a course on maritime policy issues with undergraduates. It is light on theory but not without a solid foundation and includes useful appendicies. It contains one or two small errors, like mistaking odontoceti for mysteceti.
