"This study deals with the opening phase of the U.N. negotiations concern- 

 ing the future international r-^gime for ocean space. It seeks to establish how 

 the technological and economic capabilities of member nations condition the 

 manner and style of negotiation, the definition of national objectives, and 

 the growth of attitudes and expectations with regard to such a regime. By 

 the end of the 1968-70 period expectations about the future international 

 regime had narrowed noticeabl}'. Yet, for long-range tactical reasons many 

 delegations were still holding out in anticipation of a new Law of the Sea 

 Conference. The original Maltese seabed proposal envisaged a comprehensive- 

 international regime. In general, developing countries favored such a solution 

 in the beginning, while industrialized countries preferred an intermediate 

 solution. Eventually the Maltese proposal and the negotiating situation' 

 inadvertently set off a wave of claims for various forms of national jurisdic- 

 tion. This meant that the emphasis at the end was more on the rights of the 

 coastal states and less on the capacity of the world community to deal 

 collectively with the future of ocean space."
