Volume 5 – ‘Unilateralism, Fragmentation, and the Evolving Balance of Power in the Law of the Sea’
The Yearbook on the Law of the Sea (YLoS) is a Scopus-indexed, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the advancement of rigorous and interdisciplinary scholarship in the field of ocean governance and the law of the sea.
Entitled “Unilateralism, Fragmentation, and the Evolving Balance of Power in the Law of the Sea,” the Call for abstract of Volume 5 invites original, analytically grounded, and forward-looking contributions that critically examine the evolving interplay between multilateral cooperation and unilateral conduct in the maritime domain. Submissions are particularly encouraged to engage with the legal, institutional, and geopolitical dimensions of contemporary ocean governance and to assess the capacity of international law to sustain collective management and normative coherence amid growing fragmentation and power asymmetries in the international order.
Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers are encouraged to submit abstracts that offer original insights into the evolution of the international law of the sea, both in theory and in practice.
Deadline for the submission of abstracts: 31 December 2025.
