Bilateral Law of the Sea Neighbors: Australia and New Zealand’s Partnership and McDorman’s North American Rivals

Abstract

Ted McDorman’s scholarship had a focus on Canada/United States law of the sea relations ranging from the Arctic, to fisheries, islands, maritime boundaries, and dispute settlement. Using McDorman’s frame of analysis, this article assesses Australian/New Zealand law of the sea relations relating to the Southern Ocean, fisheries, islands, maritime boundaries, marine environmental protection, and dispute settlement. Building on McDorman’s Canada/United States scholarship, Australian/New Zealand relations between close maritime neighbors with shared boundaries, culture, economies, and history are assessed.
