Informal Lawmaking in Maritime Security: New Directions in Ocean Governance

该项目将调查非正式立法对促进海洋安全和发展海洋治理新形式的贡献迅速增加。必须评估这种形式的国际合作，以应对航行自由、船只移徙、非法捕鱼和跨国犯罪等关键的海上安全关切，以显示不同行为者、机构和网络对治理的影响。这项研究将促进国际律师和政策制定者目前如何影响国际法的运作，以改进海上安全对策，并将使澳大利亚更好地保持其在促进基于规则的海上秩序方面的国际领导作用。

This project will investigate the rapidly increasing contribution of informal lawmaking to promoting maritime security and to developing new forms of ocean governance. It is important to assess this form of international cooperation in response to key maritime security concerns, such as the freedom of navigation, boat migration, illegal fishing and transnational crimes, to demonstrate the impact of diverse actors, institutions and networks on governance. This research will facilitate how international lawyers and policymakers can currently influence the operation of international law to improve maritime security responses and will better equip Australia to preserve its leadership role internationally in promoting a rules-based order at sea.
