Maritime Disagreements
The Issue Correlates of War (ICOW) research project is in the process of collecting data on every maritime claim since 1900. The following resources might also be useful for others interested in this topic:
- International Court of Justice (the ICJ has decided a number of cases related to disputed islands or maritime zones, with more currently underway)
- International Boundary Studies (a series of monographs produced by the Geographer of the U.S. Department of State between the 1960s-1980s, published online by the Florida State University Law Library)
- Limits in the Seas (a similar series that covers maritime borders, also published online by the FSU Law Library)
- The Trade and Environment Database (TED) and Inventory of Conflict and Environment (ICE) projects include cases related to maritime issues.
