This book addresses legal issues of rising seas endangering the habitability and existence of island nations in the Pacific and Indian oceans.
Only one of the Pacific Island nations is close to full economic self-reliance at present, while one or two others may be within striking distance. The rest--and they are the majority--seem to have no real prospects for full self-reliance.
