Volume Three, published in June 2000, was written by Michael W.
Reed, an attorney and expert involved in maritime boundary delimitation
for almost four decades. In this book, Reed not only documents the
legal principles derived from the numerous "tidelands" decisions that
have occurred over the past four decades, but also places those
decisions in historical context.
Hope this helps.

[log in to unmask]" type="cite">Dear Colleagues,
I have been asked to prepare an essay (3,500 words) on cartography and boundary disputes in the twentieth century. I have had some trouble locating relevant authoritative and significant literature, especially books, as opposed to journal articles. Much of what I have found is case-specific. I am seeking analytic works that span many disputes.
I hope to develop several themes, including the use of maps to make or reinforce claims, the role of maps in evolving boundary disputes, the influence of maps in the discourse of a dispute (such as the borrowing of terms, like the "green line"), and the use of cartography in dispute settlement (such as at the ICJ or in negotiations). For instance, I have found journal articles about particular disputes, like R. Johnson's "Negotiating the Dayton Peace Accords through Digital Maps" and Keith Highet's "Evidence, the Court, and the Nicaragua Case." There are a few more general articles: Dennis Rushworth's "Mapping in Support of Frontier Arbitration," Guenter Weissberg's "Maps as Evidence in International Boundary Disputes: A Reappraisal," William B. Wood's "GIS as a Tool for Territorial Negotiations," Gerald Blake's "The Depiction of International Boundaries on Topographic Maps," and others. Do any of you have suggestions for other sources that focus on cartography and boundary disputes in the last century?
With gratitude for any help,
Dan Dzurek
