More i vlast obalne države: Historijski razvoj
Natko Katičić's book is a fundamental work in the field of international law of the sea. This work is an indispensable source for lawyers, historians and all those interested in maritime law and international relations.
The author explores how coastal states’ sovereignty over maritime areas developed from antiquity to the modern era, focusing on historical, legal, and geopolitical aspects. The work covers important historical moments, from the Greco-Roman heritage, medieval maritime customs, to significant conferences and legal codifications of the 19th and 20th centuries, including the Hague Conference of 1930.
Katičić systematically dissects legal concepts such as territorial sea, freedom of the sea, fishing rights, and maritime traffic, analyzing their development over time and their role in shaping relations between coastal states and the international community.
His scholarly approach and detailed documentation make this book a key work in Croatian legal and maritime scholarship. It is particularly important for understanding the legal foundation and development of Croatia’s sovereign rights in the Adriatic, as well as the broader international context of the law of the sea.
