There has been a very considerable growth of interest in the problems of land-locked countries since I first began work on the subject in 1963, and the growth appears to be accelerating. Students and scholars, diplomats and lawyers, geographers and economists, policy-makers and policy executors will have a continuing need for information on which they can base their theories, proposals, policies and actions. Hence this bibliography which gives a reasonably good picture of the materials available. Some explanations are necessary, however, to enable the user to derive full advantage from it.
This bibliography is comprehensive but not exhaustive. It includes materials wholly, substantially or significantly related to access to and from the sea and access to the resources of the sea for land-locked States and territories, materials which have appeared since 1945. I have looked through and rejected for inclusion scores of items which do not meet these standards, materials covering important related topics but containing little on the central problems of access, even though some of them are classics in their fields. This may explain why many familiar items are not included here.
I have also made no attempt to annotate or evaluate the items included. Obviously, some items are better than others, but since users needs are so different, only they are truly able to evaluate the utility of individual items for their own purposes. I have, however, indicated with an asterisk (*) those items which I have not yet personally examined for both relevance and accuracy of the citation. I can, therefore, not guarantee either the relevance or the acuracy of any item so marked. Furthermore, even though I have made great efforts to verify the accuracy of every citation, inevitably some mistakes will creep in. Users are requested to send me, in care of the publisher, any corrections or additions to this bibliography so they may be included in the next edition.
There is an abundance of material closely related to the subject of access to the sea and its resources for land-locked countries which should be examined by anyone interested in the subject. Here are a few suggestions:
International Law
The Law of the Sea, Freedom of Transit, International Servitudes, Rights of Passage, Claims to Territory, Free Ports and Free Zones.
Economics
Economic Integration, Transportation (including airtransport), Seaports, Economic Development, Least Developed States, Customs Procedures, Transit Practices and Charges.
Political Geography
Geographically Disadvantaged States, Nearly (or Semi-) Land-locked States, Enclaves and Exclaves.
Individual Land-locked States
War of the Pacific, Chaco War, Pushtunistan (Pakhtunistan), Polish Corridor, Rhodesian-Zambian relations and related matters such as the Tan Zam Railroad and sanctions against Rhodesia, Ethiopias acquisition of Eritrea.
There is a superabundance of material on Bolivia and her campaign for an outlet to the sea, much of it repetitive and much of it polemical. I have included here only the more useful items and a sampling of the less useful ones. The same is true to a lesser extent of Afghanistans campaign for creation of a Pushtunistan out of part of Pakistan.
As for United Nations documents, I have included principally those containing substantive material bearing directly on the topic. There are dozens more containing resolutions and declarations, statements, draft articles, amendments and proposals. There are also internal (and generally confidential) reports, project descriptions, and administrative materials of many UN agencies, especially UNDP, UNCTAD and the regional economic commissions. The first group of materials, as well as many of the documents listed here, may readily be found in the official records of the General Assembly, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the Economic and Social Council especially, and of the United Nations Conferences on the Law of the Sea and on Transit Trade of Land-locked Countries. Items from the second group may be made available to responsible researchers by the individual agencies.
Another category of relevant mataerials omitted from this bibliography is treaties. Some texts and many lists and references may be found in the items included here. Others may be obtained from the Law of the Sea Library of the United Nations, from the United Nations and League of Nations Treaty Series, and from the individual governments.
The careful reader will note that this bibliography contains a few examples of all the categories listed above as being omitted. This is because I felt that these particular items had enough substance or were broad enough to be of interest to more than the most specialized researcher. I have many more in my collection. Should there be sufficient demand, the omitted categories can be included in the next edition.
I have been collecting materials on land-locked countries rather haphazardly since 1963, but more systematically since 1976. In the fall of 19781 sent a form letter soliciting contributions to this bibliography to nearly 300 people around the world. Some of the responses were most helpful. In addition to those who sent me citations or copies of their own publications, I wish to thank the following people who have been particularly helpful to me: Luis Garcia, Librarian of the United Nations Law of the Sea Library in New York; Basil I. Ross, Law Librarian of the United Nations Libraryin Geneva; Mitchell Werner of the United Nations Secretariat; and Joanne Cording and Sidney Fairmont of UNCTAD. Also, Vratislav Pechota (Prague), Francine I. Henderson (Gaberone), Vladimir Ibler (Zagreb), David B. Knight (Ottawa), S.M. Pswarayi (Salisbury), Robert T. McKinnell (Ottawa), Lucius Caflisch (Geneva), Tadeusz Lamacz (Warsaw), Gerhard Hafner (Vienna), Ivan Shearer (Kensington, N.S.W. Australia), Charles Kallu-Kalumiya (Cambridge, Mass., USA), and Kazimierz Rowny (Warsaw).
