Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an expert analysis of a long-running territorial dispute between the United States and Britain. Consulting archival diplomatic correspondence, notably between the US Secretary of State, James G. Blaine, and British Foreign Secretary, Lord Salisbury, the author examines American actions in the Behring Sea in the late-19th century that stoked tensions between the two governments. The author traces the historical roots of this controversy to the Russian Empire's claims to sovereignty over the Behring Sea and the legal arguments and diplomatic maneuvers employed by the United States to counter these claims. By exploring concepts of international law, such as the "mare clausum" (closed sea) doctrine and the principle of prescription, the book sheds light on the complexities of maritime boundaries and the interplay between national interests and international norms.
