Synopsis

This book analyzes the geopolitical and geographical perspectives on the Antarctic adopted by various "Southern" states. It examines how often simple forms of geographical reasoning have been employed in order to explain and justify these "states" involvement in the Antarctic region. Furthermore, it demonstrates that a rhetoric of territoriality and geographical proximity underscores most of the major pronouncements of states such as Argentina, Australia, Chile, India, New Zealand and South Africa. On the basis of such forms of reasoning, policies and resources have been invested in order to demonstrate that a particular state has a quasi-natural interest in the region.
