This course provides a general introduction to the European maritime studies, acknowledging the importance of its geopolitical dimension. It gives an historical understanding of the maritime legal framework that settles the boundaries of the territorial waters. Students will be familiarized with the maritime management of its resources (fisheries, seabed minerals, bioprospecting, energy sources), the management of conflicts in relation to the transport of goods and people (illicit trades, trafficking and smuggling), and of environmental issues (rising sea temperatures, and pollution). The course focus on six case studies (the European parts of the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, the Baltic, North, Mediterranean and Black Seas) to illustrate the land-sea interactions, and multi-level governance arrangements addressing conflicting claims.
