The Politics of Global Ocean Regions
Competing axes of power in the global plastics treaty
Headlines in December 2024 proclaimed the “collapse” and “failure” of United Nations plastics treaty negotiations in Busan, South Korea. This is, however, an overly simplistic and pessimistic portrayal. Progress on less contentious issues was made, and the meeting was adjourned with a commitment to continue negotiating in 2025 on the basis of the “Chair’s text.” Significantly, at the closing plenary, a majority of states voiced support for a “hig…
When the “best available science” is not good enough
Understanding the Blue Acceleration
And so it begins – The adoption of the ‘Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction’ treaty
After five years of negotiations, the ‘Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction’ (BBNJ) treaty was adopted on June 19th 2023. This adoption meeting was of a celebratory kind and included the final version of the draft treaty in all six languages – ready to be adopted, signed, ratified and enter into force – sooner rather than later. This short communication examines the narratives during this final meeting and assesses the language around the pa…
The BBNJ agreement and liability
Making the most of what we already have
The ship has reached the shore
The negotiations for a new legal instrument for Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) concluded in March 2023 with a successful, and somewhat surprising, finalization of a treaty. The BBNJ treaty is a remarkable achievement. But these outcomes – the circumstances of finalization and the content of the final agreement – are complicated to explain. They are the result of the complex interactions between different avenues of influence and…
Shake it Off
The process for formulating a new treaty for ‘Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction’ (BBNJ) has been long. Since informal discussions began in 2004, the international community has devoted nearly 20 years to setting the agenda, circumscribing the issue areas, and negotiating the terms of a legally binding BBNJ instrument. The fourth and fifth inter-governmental conferences (IGCs), which both occurred in 2022 after a two-year hiatus due to COV…
Direction, not detail
After a two year delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the fourth intergovernmental conference (IGC-4) in the negotiations for a new UN treaty to address the conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) took place in March 2022. This meeting differed substantially from previous IGCs in terms of process, with much of the discussions occurring in 'informal informals,' or off-the-record meetings open o…
Nuclear weapon-free zones and the issue of maritime transit in Latin America
Why did Latin American states exclude a prohibition on maritime nuclear transit from their regional nuclear weapon-free zone (NWFZ)? Latin American countries and nuclear powers shared common anxieties about the dangers of the nuclear arms race in the early 1960s. Thus, they decided to craft a regional nuclear non-proliferation mechanism. Latin American states favoured limiting maritime nuclear transit as part of the Treaty for the Prohibition of …
Stuck in the middle with you (and not much time left)
The third of four scheduled Inter-Governmental Conferences on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction met in New York in August 2019. This article tracks the progress made in the negotiations, focusing on the four key themes the draft treaty is addressing: (1) marine genetic resources, (2) area-based management tools, including marine protected areas, (3) environmental impact assessments, and (4) c…
Climate change increases the risk of fisheries conflict
Solving the Oceans' Plastic Problem
The best set of solutions is likely to span the scale from individual to international action, and to address different points along the chain of production, consumption, and disposal
Protecting biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction
In September 2018, following over a decade of informal discussions, the United Nations General Assembly launched an intergovernmental conference to address the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction. This process is scheduled to take two years and is structured around four themes: marine genetic resources, area-based management tools (including marine protected areas), environmental impact assessments, and c…

Teaching Critical Understandings of Realism through Historical War Simulations
This article presents a simple modular simulation for teaching the advantages and limitations of Realist theory in an introductory international relations course. The advantages of this simulation include low preparation time, minimal resource requirements, and ease of integration with existing curricula. The game design is built around Kenneth Waltz’s “three-image” framework for analyzing international politics, in a way that increases scenario …
Consensus and Global Environment Governance
Walter F. Baber and Robert V. Bartlett’s Consensus and Global Environmental Governance is the final book in a three-part series about the development of Earth system governance. Where the two previous books introduce and describe the authors’ prescription for juristic democracy in global environmental governance, this book confronts powerful objections and forwards specific advantages of a deliberative democratic approach. The overall vision is t…
