Description

Frank G. Klotz. Reviews U.S. interests in Antarctica prior to possible major revisions or even elimination in 1991 of the Antarctic Treaty of 1959, under which the U.S. & other nations have quietly & peacefully pursued exploration & scientific research there. Examines Antarctica before the 1959 treaty, & then scrutinizes the operation of the treaty itself. Three major challenges to continued cooperation in Antarctica have arisen: modest discoveries of dwindling natural resources; certain nations, not signatories to the treaty, question the right of treaty members to control resource development; & disputes over territorial sovereignty remain to be resolved.
