It appears that the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) suffers from ‘the Success Syndrome’, a syndrome well known to very successful artists and companies: a great success leads to high expectations which the artist or company subsequently struggles to meet.

Based on the articles in this special issue, some of the setbacks are identified. Whether the ATCM will be able to address the Success Syndrome in the years to come is uncertain, but it may prove to be necessary to take some unusual steps to get back on the ‘path of success’.

It appears that the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) suffers from ‘the Success Syndrome’, a syndrome well known to very successful artists and companies: a great success leads to high expectations which the artist or company subsequently struggles to meet.
