Publisher Description: Piracy on the high seas is not a thing of the past. Although it is not much in the public eye, it is still, as it always has been, a significant threat to international trade. But should there be an international piracy law regime? In this study, now in its second edition, Professor Rubin thinks not. The phenomenon has many diverse roots in contemporary affairs, and the dangerous blurring of important legal distinctions (eg. criminal and political) is all too likely. |
