Week 12 The Future of Technological Exploitation – This week students will consider possible futures for ocean activities based on trends in emerging technologies. While each reading covers a different type of marine technology, all will be considered in light of the existing regime reviewed in previous classes. Class discussion will focus on the intersection between a decades-old regime and innovations in technologies, in order to encourage critical thinking about the role of Law of the Sea institutions in international politics.
