Peter Stoett seeks to clarify the multidimensional nature of whaling as well as its relation to other crucial environmental concerns such as ozone depletion, global warming, and marine pollution. While recognizing the importance of habitat preservation, he challenges the political value of the suspension, arguing that the symbolic importance of both the whale and the moratorium may be overshadowing the need for much more in-depth policy work in this area.WhalingEconomic aspectsWhalingEnvironmental aspectsWhalingPolitical aspectsWhalingEconomic aspects.WhalingEnvironmental aspects.WhalingPolitical aspects.333.95/95Stoett Peter J(Peter John),1965-597535MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791450103321The international politics of whaling3781117UNINA
