Maritime Claims and Underwater Archaeology. When History Meets Politics

To what extent can underwater archeology and underwater cultural heritage support a maritime claim by a State? Many States have plausibly extended their maritime legislative and executive jurisdiction to the outer limit of the contiguous zone to better protect underwater cultural heritage. However, some states -like Canada in the Arctic, China in the South China Sea or Russia in Crimea- are going farther claiming sovereignty over disputed maritime areas or, even, the high seas. This book, aimed at internationalists and archaeologists, tries to critically assess these recent practices from a legal, historical and ethical perspective, reviewing this search for buried sovereignty.

This talk constitute´s professor Aznar presentation of his most recent book published by Brill. https://brill.com/view/title/61432?language=en
