The Law of the Sea: U.S. Interests and Alternatives contains the edited proceedings of a February 1975 conference sponsored jointly by the American Enterprise Institute and the U.S. Treasury. The participants were chosen by the conference organizers to represent a broad spectrum of views on the negotiations on the law of the sea which were held in the late spring of 1975 in Geneva.

The volume is divided into three parts. Part I is addressed to U.S. Interests in the law of the sea negotiations. Robert Osgood ermines U.S. security interests in the context of the law of the sea. Next David B. Johnson and Dennis E. Logue examine U.S. economic interests in the law of the sea. Finally, Robert Tollison and Thomas Willett present a public choice perspective on law of the sea issues. Seyom Brown, Joseph Nye, Roland McKean, and Ross Eckert comment on the
three papers.

In Part II, Ann L. Hollick reviews the Third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea and H. Gary Knight outlines alternatives to a law of the sea treaty. Their papers are discussed by Northcutt Ely, Kenneth Dam, Myres McDougal, and Arvid Pardo. The Epilogue is James L. Johnston's report of the Geneva negotiations.
