Abstract
“Is our modern world ready to accept that some spaces and some resources cannot be nationally appropriated? It would seem so. Is it ready to think about subjecting the economic gains of the exploitation of these resources to a universal democratic process by ignoring the differences in the technological and financial levels of members of the international community? As international relations stand, it would seem not.”48
