Antarctica: The Next Decade - Report of a Group Study Chaired By Sir Anthony Parsons

In this timely survey, a study group, brought together by the David Davies memorial Institute of International Studies, looks at the political and environmental questions raised by the potentially conflicting interests in the Antarctic. What are the stresses, internal and external, on the Antarctic Treaty System, and can it develop to cope with these? Could these stresses be resolved in a new instrument? If not, what is the likely political outlook for Antarctica?
