In recent years there have been several alarming predictions about
the future of the planet's fish stocks. As a result, many national
governments and supranational institutions, including the European
Union, have instituted reforms designed to mitigate the crisis.
This book examines the discourse and practice of 'good governance'
in the context of fisheries management. It starts by examining the
'crisis' of fisheries in the North Sea, caused primarily by
overfishing and failure of the European Union's Common Fisheries
Policy. It then goes on to analyse reforms to this policy enacted
and planned between 2002 and 2013, and the proposition that
collapse of fish stocks could occur as a result of deficiencies in
new governing arrangements, i.e. failure to apply 'principles of
good governance'. The book argues that impediments to good
governance practice in fisheries are not merely the result of
implementation deficits, but that they constitute a more systematic
failure. Governance theory addresses issues of power, but it does
not recognise the many important spatially contingent and
relational forms of power that are exercised in actual governing
practice. For example, it frequently overlooks spatial practices
and strategies, such as 'scale jumping, 'rescaling' and the
discursive redrawing of governing boundaries. This book exposes
some of these spatial power relationships, showing that the
presence of such relationships has implications for accountability
and effective policymaking. In sum, this book explores some of the
ways in which we might better understand governance practice using
theories of scale and relational concepts of power, and in the
process it offers a critique and rethinking of governance theory.
These reflections are made on the basis of an in-depth case study
of the attempted pursuit of 'good governance' in the European Union
via institutional reforms, focusing particularly on the thorny and
fascinating case of North Sea fisheries management.
