This is a very welcome volume, and it will reach a large audience
and readership among those involved in these issues from a truly
multidisciplinary perspective; in essence, a much needed book! Erik
Bonsdorff, professor of marine biology at bo Akademi University,
Finland This timely volume provides a thorough account of how the
highly advanced industrial societies seek to govern and manage the
Baltic Sea. The way they proceed, and the degree to which they
succeed, provide valuable lessons for riparian states seeking to
avoid tragedies of their commons. Lennart J. Lundqvist, professor
of environmental policy and administration, University of
Gothenburg, Sweden How is a natural common pool resource such as a
sea, which is shared by several countries, best governed? The
potential for international conflict is immense, as each country
may have different agendas with regard to issues such as
exploitation and environmental protection. This book uses a case
study of the Baltic Sea Region to examine this complex problem. The
sea itself has been highly vulnerable to pollution and recently the
bordering nations have begun to change their mode of cooperation to
tackle this issue by establishing several new forums to manage the
sea. Administrative and political structures developed in the
region are reviewed and shown to provide a model that could be
applied to other seas and natural resource systems elsewhere in the
world.
