In The Estonian Straits, Alexander Lott establishes the interrelations between the main legal categories of straits. Through this detailed and exceptional account, he provides legal classifications for the Viro Strait in the Gulf of Finland as well as the Irbe Strait and the Sea of Straits in the Gulf of Riga. Consequently, the passage rights of foreign ships and aircrafts in the northeastern part of the Baltic Sea are determined.
The author demonstrates that the legal regime of the Estonian Straits has been and continues to be determined by such factors as the outer limits of maritime zones, treaties, islands, maritime boundary delimitation, domestic law on internal waters and baselines as well as geopolitical implications (particularly the concept of State continuity).

"For anyone interested in the issue of straits, this book is defi nitely to be counted as highly recommended literature. Based as it is on thorough research involving Estonian archival sources, taken in conjunction with more recent parliamentary and governmental documents, it provides the reader with a good sense of how intricate the determination of the precise legal category of a particular strait under Part III of the 1982 Convention can become in practice. This book, beyond a shadow of a doubt, adds new insights as to the exact legal regime applicable to these straits surrounding Estonia, which heretofore had not been covered by specialist literature in any comparable depth." - Erik Franckx, President of the Centre for International Law, Full-time Research Professor, Faculty of Law and Criminology, Vrije Universiteit Brussel
