International maritime policy: how far can a country control the seas?
About this episode
The episode discusses the extent to which countries can control maritime areas, featuring insights from Dr Ian Ralby on the implications of such control.
Most of the times, the control of the seas empowers countries, logistically and economically, as well demontrated from Iran which now controls the strait of Hormuz. To discuss this further I spoke to Dr Ian Ralby, an American lawyer specialised in maritime affairs.
