本文探讨了能否从极地地区100年来制定法律的秩序的历史中提炼出核心的基本原则。尽管南极和北极地区在地理物理、社会历史和法律的环境方面存在差异，但对两个极地地区制定法律的秩序过程的考察表明，在设计各自的法律的制度时，正在评估和应用一些基本原则。这些核心基本原则的确定不一定会导致类似的最终产品，这种审查也不一定会倡导例如北极条约体系。相反，本文认为，在南极和北极之间，在国际法律的秩序制定过程合法性的基础层面上，已经可以看出相互学习的过程。这一审查还提供了一个更广泛的框架，以评估现有文献，这些文献认为这两种制度在实质性原则和规则层面上存在某些互动。
This paper examines whether core foundational principles can be distilled from the 100 years of history of the legal order-making in the polar regions. Despite differences in geo-physical, socio-historical, and legal circumstances conditioning the Antarctic and the Arctic regions, the examination of the processes of legal order-making in both polar regions demonstrates that there are some foundational principles being assessed and applied in designing their respective legal regimes. The identification of those core foundational principles would not necessarily lead to similar end products, nor would such examination necessarily advocate, for example, an Arctic Treaty System. This paper, instead, submits that between the Antarctic and the Arctic there are mutual learning processes already discernible at the foundational level of process legitimacy in international legal order-making. This examination also provides a broader framework to assess the existing literature that sees certain interactions between the two regimes at the level of substantive principles and rules.
