Abstract

Abstract This paper discusses the need for reassessing U.S. security interests in the developing laws and practices concerning the use of ocean space. The nature of these security interests is identified and their importance is weighed in terms of U.S. foreign policy interests and the requirements for maintaining those interests. A projection is made of the international political context within which the U.S. must act over the next decade. Estimates are made of the effects of different ocean regimes on U.S. strategic nuclear interests and other security interests. Conclusions are offered concerning, from the standpoint of U.S. security interests, the desirability and feasibility of resolving various ocean jurisdictional issues by means of the projected law of the sea treaty.
