ABSTRACT
This chapter examines regime utilities for each of the fourteen Antarctic Treaty consultative states and the internatinal community. Argentina's interests in having its juridical position accepted and in minimizing adverse domestic reaction would be completely achieved in a territorial regime. By applying the Svalbard model explicit but limited sovereignty for Argentina in a sector of Antarctica would be recognized. The regime with the least utility for Argentina is, not surprisingly, the open use regime. The most important interest for Australia in Antarctica is the opportunity to profit, and this interest is best satisfied under the open use and territorial heavily: maintenance of the Antarctic Treaty System, preservation of environmental quality, and protection of juridical position and rights. The consortium alternative is the best option for Belgium, but it is only slightly better than JARJ and condominium solutions. Maintenance of environmental quality also ranks as one of Belgium's most important interests.
