An analysis of how responsive governance has shaped the evolution
of global fisheries in cyclical patterns of depletion and
rebuilding dubbed the "management treadmill." The oceans are
heavily overfished, and the greatest challenges to effective
fisheries management are not technical but political and economic.
In this book, D. G. Webster describes how the political economy of
fisheries has evolved and highlights patterns that are linked to
sustainable transitions in specific fisheries. Grounded in the
concept of responsive governance, Webster's interdisciplinary
analysis goes beyond the conventional view of the "tragedy of the
commons." Using her Action Cycle/Structural Context framework, she
maps long-running patterns that cycle between depletion and
rebuilding in a process that she terms the management treadmill.
Webster documents the management treadmill in settings that range
from small coastal fishing communities to international fisheries
that span entire oceans. She identifies the profit disconnect, in
which economic incentives are out of sync with sustainable use, and
the power disconnect, in which those who experience the costs of
overexploitation are politically marginalized. She examines how
these disconnects shaped the economics of expansion and documents
how political systems failed to prevent related cycles of serial
resource depletion. Webster also traces the increasing use of
restrictive management in response to worsening fisheries crises
and the emergence of new, noncommercial interests that demand
greater management but also generate substantial conflict. She
finds that the management treadmill is speeding up with population
growth and economic development, and so concludes that sustainable
fisheries can only exist within a sustainable global economic
system.
