  • Summary

    This chapter gives a brief background of the study and situates it in the academic context, highlighting the legal doctrines that will be applied through the book and outlining the structure of the book. It introduces the general background of the development of the international law of the sea and highlights the importance of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) that was codified in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). After briefly reviewing the legal framework of the EEZ as established in UNCLOS, it identifies the two legal doctrines that sustain the dynamic jurisdictional balance in the EEZ, namely the principles used to attribute rights and freedoms between the coastal State and other States, and the reciprocal due regard obligations relating to their excise. These two legal doctrines also guides the principles to resolve conflicts arising from the attribution of residual rights in the EEZ and the procedures to settle disputes among State parties. This chapter then provides an overview of the methodology used in the analysis and discussion of the book.
