Aldo E. Chircop, Cooperative Regimes in Ocean Management: A Study in
Mediterranean Regionalism, Dalhousie University (JSD)
This thesis is a functionalist study of cooperative regimes in ocean
management, a study of Mediterranean regionalism in the law of the sea
and an exercise in interdisciplinary scholarship.
A distinguishing feature of the new law of the sea is its emphasis on
cooperation in ocean development and management. Regimes are structures
of law, policy and institutions that facilitate global and, especially, regional
cooperation. But cooperative behaviour is simply an option existing side-
by-side options for autonomy or competition. Cooperation in value pursuits
is preferred because of the high interdependence generated by the marine
environment in semi-enclosed seas.
The Mediterranean context is fraught with conflicts of all kinds among
its eighteen coastal states: political, military, territorial, economic, religious,
cultural, etc. However, there are also forces of integration at work among
both European and Arab nations. The pursuit of fisheries and environment
protection cooperation is influenced and at times delayed, but not inhibited,
by the realities of competition. Even in the context of territoriality and the
need for boundary-making, cooperative regime-building is promoting ma-
ritime good neighbourliness on a regional scale.
“Inter-disciplinary” has become a passepartout concept to designate all
forms of disciplinary interaction. This thesis distinguishes “inter-” from
“multi-” and “cross-disciplinary” scholarship. It is a conscious attempt at
inter-disciplinary scholarship, utilizing perspectives and methods that are
not exclusively legal, in search of a problem-oriented and multi-dimensional
approach to the probl~matique of cooperation in the law of the sea.

Cette these est une 6tude fonctionnelle des regimes coop6ratifs de ges-
tion des oceans, une 6tude des particularit~s du droit m6diterranfen de la
mer et un exemple de recherche interdisciplinaire.
Les drveloppements rcents en droit de la mer se caractfrisent par
l’importance accord~e A la coop&ration dans le d6veloppement et la gestion
des oceans. Les regimes mis en place, structures A la fois juridiques, poli-
tiques et institutionnelles, facilitent la cooperation globale et, tout sp~cia-
lement, r~gionale. La coop6ration, qui n’6tait qu’une option parmi d’autres,
dont l’autonomie ou la concurrence, est un choix logique dans un contexte
d’interd6pendance d6coulant de l’environnement maritime d’une mer quasi-
ferm~e.
Les dix-huit ttats riverains de la M~diterran~e ont toujours &6 en
conflit, que ce soit sur le plan politique, militaire, territorial, 6conomique,
religieux, culturel ou autre. Cependant, d’autres facteurs contribuent au rap-
prochement des ttats arabes et europ~ens, et compensent les premiers. La
marche vers la cooperation pour la protection de l’environnement et les
p~cheries est influenc~e et, par moments, ralentie, par les r~alit6s de la
concurrence, mais elle n’est pas freinfe. M~me dans un syst~me reposant
sur la territorialit et la determination des fronti~res l’6chafaudage de r6-
gimes coop6ratifs favorise les relations de bon voisinage entre ttats riverains
de la M~diterran~e.
I’interdisciplinarit6 est devenu un concept fourre-tout pour tous les
genres d’interactions entre disciplines. Cette these 6tablit la distinction entre
la recherche interdisciplinaire, multidisciplinaire et transdisciplinaire. Elle
marque une tentative de recherche interdisciplinaire, qui emploie des m6-
thodes et des d6marches ne relevant pas strictement de ]a recherche juri-
dique, afin d’aboutir i une approche pratique et englobante aux probl~mes
de la cooperation en droit de la mer.

M. Flannigan, The State, Industry and Territory, University of Toronto.
It is the purpose of this thesis to describe the political and economic
linkages which form between the system of industrial production in the state
and its public enterprise network. The thesis focuses on the development
of public enterprise networks in the modem era, i.e. after the turn of the
century, and describes them as an essential element of the industrial state.
The argument is made that the growth of public enterprise networks
during the modern industrial era, and the beginning of the decline of these
same networks during the present decade are a reflection of the development
and then the fading of a structure of industrial production peculiar to that
period of history. This leads to a discussion of the relationship between the
elements of democratic organization and various market structures.
The various forms of public enterprise which have appeared since 1900
are described and the similarities between the organizing of large public
1142

[Vol. 34
enterprise systems and the multi-unit firm are discussed. It is argued that
all market systems depend heavily on a highly structured institutional fra-
mework and that the political development of any state turns upon the kind
of structural choices which are made during key periods of the state’s history.
The proposition is advanced that the privatization movement is evidence
of a significant redefining of the Western industrial system. One of the con-
sequences may well be the economic and therefore the political disenfran-
chisement of less-skilled,
less favoured citizens, with a concomitant
narrowing of the democratic nature of the industrial state.
This evolution is described more particularly in the context of the Ca-
nadian state and the restricted nature of the federal and provincial networks
is discussed. The suggestion is made that the incidence of public enterprise
in Canada has been and continues to be a subordinate aspect of state
intervention.
Cette these vise A d6crire les liens politico-6conomiques entre le syst~me
de production industrielle d’un 6tat et son rrseau d’entreprises publiques.
Elle se concontre sur le drveloppement de ces r6seaux durant l’6re moderne,
c’est-A-dire aprrs le tournant du sircle, et les drcrit comme un 616ment
essentiel de 1’6tat industriel.
L2auteur pr6tend que ]a croissance du rrseau d’entreprises publiques
durant l’rre industrielle contemporaine, et le debut de leur drcroissance
durant la drcennie actuelle rrflrtent le drveloppement et la disparition d’une
structure de production industrielle caract6ristique de cette prriode histo-
rique. Cela l’amrne A discuter des relations entre les 616ments de l’organi-
sation drmocratique et les diverses structures du march6.
Les differentes formes d’entreprises publiques qui ont fait leur appa-
rition depuis 1900 sont ensuite d6crites. L’auteur discute des ressemblances
entre l’organisation des grands rrseaux d’entreprises publiques et les entre-
prises qui regroupent de multiples unites de production. I1 soutient que tous
les systrmes de march6 reposent sur un cadre institutionnel hautement struc-
tur6 et que 1’6volution politique de tout 6tat d6pend de choix cruciaux quant
A ces structures, aux moment-clM de son histoire. I1 avance que les tendances
rrcentes A la privatisation drnotent un changement significatif dans ]a per-
ception du systrme industriel occidental. En consequence, il est fort possible
que les citoyens moins bien formrs et d6favorisrs se voient priv6s de toute
representation 6conomique et, partant, politique. Cela entrainerait 6gale-
ment un appauvrissement des fondements d6mocratiques de l’6tat
industriel.

Joseph Louis Haeck, Les prolhgom~nes juridiques religs d l’utilisation mi-
litaire du milieu agro-spatial par les forces canadiennes, Institute of Air and
Space Law, McGill University
l2exploration de l’espace a d~but avec l’essor de l’aviation. Ce moyen
de transport a tr~s rapidement int~ress6 les militaires. De nos jours l’aviation
militaire desire atteindre d’autres cieux situ6s aux confins de notre univers.
On ne parle plus de forces a6riennes mais bel et bien de forces a~ro-spatiales.
La premiere partie de cette these regroupe les chapitres en droit a~rien
ayant un int6r& pour les militaires. Le chapitre premier d6crit la base du
droit international public. Au chapitre deux, nous soulignons les rudiments
du droit international des conflits arm6s qui int6ressent particuli~rement
nos confreres d’armes. Le chapitre troisi~me est un envol a bord d’un ap-
pareil militaire dans le ciel du droit a6rien, ofi nous 6tudions 6galement le
regime juridique du milieu a~ro-spatial. Le chapitre quatri~me s’adresse
surtout aux militaires canadiens pour leur faire d~couvrir notre droit
militaire.
Ak la deuxi~me partie, on traite de plusieurs questions juridiques qui
int~ressent les militaires. Dans le chapitre cinq on introduit les notions de
droit spatial. Dans le chapitre six on traite de trois textes juridiques < clas-
siques ) du droit spatial affectant les op6rations militaires dans l'espace. Au
chapitre sept, nous avons srlectionn6 certains aspects juridiques importants
pour les militaires relativement i certaines utilisations militaires dans
l'espace comme l'espionage sid~ral, les syst~mes de stations spatiales et la
lgitime defense dans l'espace. Dans le chapitre huit, nous 6tudions la doc-
trine spatiale sovi~tique. telle que con~ue par les juristes des pays de l'Est.
Au chapitre neuf, on discute du droit du d~sarmement dans 1'espace et de
la contribution canadienne. Dans ce dernier chapitre, on expose egalement
l'ordre international dans l'espace sid~ral. Dans la conclusion et tout au
long de cette recherche, nous soulignons qu'une attention particuli~re a W
donn~e au r6le possible que les militaires pourraient jouer dans la defense
a~ro-spatiale tout en se conformant aux normes juridiques du droit
international.
The exploration of space started a long time ago with the inception of
civil aviation. This mode of transport very soon became a matter of great
interest to the military. Today our strategists are concerned about the outer

space and the limits of our universe. We do not have an airforce anymore;
we have an aerospace force.
The first part of this thesis is a study of the air law applicable to the
military operations of our pilots. The study begins with an introduction in
the world of the international public law and then moves on to the laws of
armed conflicts. The flight continues with a fly pass over the laws of airwar
and, lastly, the Canadian military law.
In the second part of the thesis, we deal with the space law applicable
to the military operations in space. We look at the international public law
and several multilateral and bilateral agreements relating to the use of outer
space for military activities. We also study specific problems of interest for
some military operations in outer space. Thereafter we analyse some legal
implications of the spying in space, space stations and self defence. The
Soviets' doctrine on space laws is explained in chapter eight. After, we do
one full orbit around the law of disarmament in outer space and land on
the international order in space in the last chapter to complete our journey
in deep space.
Lastly we finally conclude that the military personnel serving in dif-
ferent aerospace forces need a better "corpus aero-spatialis". We, the jurists,
should work to fix the legal limits of military operations in the air and space
environment. Ultimately, we need an international instrument determining
the common rules of law of armed conflict for military personnel serving
in their respective aerospace forces.
William Wesley Thomas Pue, The Making of the English Bar: Metasomatism
in the Nineteenth Century, Osgoode Hall Law School (D.Jur.)
This thesis is concerned with the English legal professions of the mid-
nineteenth century. The general methodology utilized involves the appli-
cation of models developed in the sociology of the professions and in the
sociology of law to a historically specific study of power struggles within
and about the Bar.
The thesis advances an argument that significant changes occurred in
the character of barristers practice during the middle decades of the nine-
teenth century which have significantly affected the ways in which law has
been practiced since that time. A period of intensive commercial compe-
tition between barristers and between barristers and competitor professio-
nals in the 1850's, which the author characterizes as a period of laissez faire
at the Bar or rebellion amongst banisters, was followed by the imposition
of centralized bar discipline in an entirely new degree in the 1860's.
1989]
THESES SURVEY
1145
During the period between 1859 and 1863 a nascent "laissez faire" bar
was "shut down" by the Benchers of the Inns of Court in London. Five
cases of notorious barristers' misconduct (Lord Chelmsford, Charles Rann
Kennedy, Edwin James, Digby Seymour, Charles Claydon) fixated the public
attention at this time, and four of the barristers involved were subjected to
"professional discipline" -
the notion itself a new one in this period. Lord
Chelmsford, L.C. apart, there were marked similarities between the barris-
ters involved. Three of the four were Liberal party supporters, and all of
them engaged in "commercialized" practices which involved the represen-
tation of individuals who would not otherwise obtain legal assistance, a
trenching on the work of solicitors, and a disregard for the inherited "eti-
quette" of the Bar.
It argued that the "shutting down" of laissez-faire professional practices
was a crucial turning point in the English legal profession. While the causes
were both structural and contingent, the effect was to transform the Bar into
a "modern profession" which exhibited the traits of centralized organiza-
tion, professional discipline, "public spiritedness," and which controlled an
ever more sharply defined and rigorously policed "monopoly of
competence."
Cette these traite des professions juridiques dans l'Angleterre du milieu
du si~cle dernier. La m~thodologie grn~rale utilis~e par l'auteur comprend
l'application de modules venant de la sociologie des professions A une 6tude
ponctuelle des luttes de pouvoir au sein du Barreau. Cette these soutient
que la pratique du droit, dans sa forme actuelle, a 6t6 grandement marquee
par des changements substantiels A la nature de la pratique des barristers,
changements qui se sont produits a mi-chemin du 19e sicle. Les ann~es
1850 ont d'abord donn6 lieu A une p6riode de concurrence commerciale
intensive entre les barristers eux-m~mes et entre ceux-ci et d'autres juristes.
, cette 6poque, qualifi~e par l'auteur de reldchement du Barreau ou de
rebellion au sein des barristers, a succed6 un resserrement jusque 1A sans
prcedent de l'autorit6 du Barreau durant la d~cennie suivante.
Entre 1859 et 1863, un certain relachement du Barreau a 6t6 6toufre
dans l'oeuf par les Benchers of the Inns of Court A Londres. Cinq affaires
de conduite professionnelle r~pr~hensible impliquant des barristers bien
connus (Lord Chelmsford, Charles Rann Kennedy, Edwin James, Digby
Seymour et Charles Claydon) ont fait les manchettes du temps. La respon-
sabilit6 professionnelle -
de quatre de
ces cinq barristers a 6t6 mise en jeu. A l'exception de Lord Chelmsford,
L.C., les quatre autres barristers 6taient dans des situations similaires. Trois
des quatre 6taient des sympathisants Lib6raux, et tous avaient << commer-
cialis6 >> leur pratique, en repr~sentant des individus qui autrement n’au-

the Space WARC, Institute of Air and Space Law, McGill University
La Conference de radio administrative mondiale (CRAM) Espace a
abouti A des changements significatifs du r6gime r6glementaire des t6l6com-
munications par satellite. Cette dissertation examine la CRAM Espace et
ses effets. Pour la compr6hension des probl6mes de base l'auteur fait d'abord
un survol des ressources et de la technologie utilis6e par les satellites de
t6l6communication, un r6sum6 de la structure des institutions existantes,
et un examen des 6v6nements qui ont men6 A cette Conf6rence. Le r6gime
l6gislatif et r~glementaire applicable aux t6l6communications par satellite
avant la CRAM Espace est 6tudi6, notamment les aspects de droit inter-
national spatial et de droit international des t6l6communications. L'auteur
consacre une attention particuli~re au but de la Conference qui 6tait l'acc~s
6quitable aux fr6quences et A l'orbite g6ostationnaire. Les deux sessions de
la CRAM Espace ainsi que la p6riode int6rimaire pendant laquelle les n6-
gociations ont eu lieu sont pr6sent6es ici avec leurs r6sultats. La compati-
bilit6 des nouveaux r6gimes de t6l6communication par satellite avec le droit
spatial et les probl~mes de droit spatial qui ont 6t6 soulev6s A la Conference
sont pr6sent6s dans les diffrents chapitres. Enfin une analyse globale et des
conclusions terminent cette 6tude.
The Space WARC resulted in significant changes to the regulatory re-
gime of satellite telecommunications. This dissertation examines the Space
WARC and its effects. The basis for an understanding of the relevant issues
is established by an overview of the resources and technology involved in
satellite telecommunications, a summary of the institutional framework,
and a review of the events leading to the Conference. The legal and regu-
latory regime applicable to satellite telecommunications before the Space
WARC is examined, including aspects of international space law and in-
ternational telecommunications law, and the goal of the Conference -

is analyzed. Both sessions of the Space WARC and its

over the West Bank: an In-depth Analysis of the Historical Roots of Feasible
Options in the Framework of a Future Settlement of the Dispute, Institute of
Comparative Law, McGill University
Part A traces back the origins of the conflicting claims to sovereignty
over the area now called the West-Bank. The analysis shows that a sove-
reignty vacuum ensued after Turkey relinquished by treaty its rights and
title over Palestine and that subsequently that vacuum remained in the area
earmarked for an Arab Palestinian State.
Part B peruses the constituent elements for the legality or illegality of
the sovereignty claims invoked by the parties concerned, the use of force
and the act of self-defence.
Part C demonstrates that Israel has eroded the law of belligerent oc-
cupation through a system of military orders, which virtually precludes the
West-Bank Palestinians from exercising their valid claim to sovereignty.
Part D reviews feasible options for a solution of the conflicting claims
to sovereignty over the West-Bank. The last chapter proposes a solution
considered by the author to be the legally correct view, which would entitle
the Palestinians to fill up the sovereignty vacuum through an internationally
guaranteed exercise of self-determination.
