330   $aThe International Politics of Whaling is a fascinating study of the politics, environmental dilemmas, and ethical questions surrounding this highly controversial practice. 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.
