Conceptualization of ocean development

The evolution of the law and the naval strategy for sustainability

Résumé

Taking into consideration the radical changes concerning
development in the past century, this work has been for-
mulated to see a new perspective where the ocean can be
revived as a fundamental player for sustainable growth
and development today. Structured in three sections, this
paper goes through the geographers’ vision of the ocean
as an original and rediscovered space of society, followed
by juridical thought and its application to international
ocean governance. That culminates with the capacity to
systematically consolidate the different aspects of the mi-
litary navies and how the navy can be reorganised to fit
the reality of ocean sustainability and development.
