Legal Power And Hegemony Of Sea Order

International legal order of the sea is an important part of the development of international law,as well as a major manifestation of international law.In the long history of maritime development,the sea order dominated by marine hegemony has long occupied a major position.In the process of the change of marine hegemony,the law of the sea rights is also quietly developing.In different policies implemented by different countries,dispute resolution bodies such as the idea of ocean freedom,the territorial sea system,the exclusive economic zone system and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea have emerged one after another Gradually enriched the connotation of the law of the sea rights.For a long period of history,due to the backward social production,there was not much demand for ocean navigation,there was little human maritime activity,and the development of the ocean was mainly concentrated in the offshore,so there were not too many disputes at sea,and not set sea order yet.With the gradual improvement of productivity,mankind began to have the demand for ocean navigation,coupled with the advancement of technology,shipbuilding technology,mapping technology and astronomical advances have provided convenient conditions for navigation,people's interests began to extend to the sea.With the beginning of the era of great navigation,Europe began a fierce maritime competition.Various explorers and navigators led the fleets of countries to engage in trade and looting at sea.This stage is the heyday of marine hegemony.In the early 17 th century,the idea of "Marine Freedom" proposed by Grotius embodied the principle of fair competition,which was gradually recognized by European countries and also practiced by later marine overlords.period.After entering the 20 th century,the two world wars shuffled the world's sea order.The veteran maritime powers fell one by one.The United States became the undisputed marine hegemon,and the marine legal order led by the United Nations also grew very rapidly,To fight against the US Ocean Hegemony Chamber and maintain a balance.The emergence of marine legal power is based on the need to restrict marine hegemony.Pure hegemony does not conform to the theme of "peace and development" in today's international community.It is also more harmful than beneficial to the progress and development of humanity as a whole.As we go deeper,the legal power of the sea as an important supplement to the marine order plays an increasingly important role in international affairs.Maritime legal power is produced in the development of hegemony,and it has gradually improved with the twists and turns of hegemony.The hegemony measures that many countries have promoted to protect their own interests have gradually evolved into an important content of marine legal power.The shortcomings are supplemented,on the other hand,it also regulates the further expansion of hegemony.It can be said that hegemony has spawned the law of the sea,and in the continuous expansion has promoted the further improvement of the law of the sea,and the law of the sea has continuously absorbed nutrients in the process of guiding the hegemony to a positive development,and has increasingly become the world marine order The important part of the two is intertwined and inseparable.
