This book describes the work of the North Pacific Marine Science
Organization (PICES) since its launch 1992. Mapping the evolution
of its agenda gives insight into the development of modern marine
science in the context of competing demands of stakeholders within
and outside the organization. The opening chapter consider the
challenges of marine science as a large scale, and places PICES in
the contexts of internationalism and science-based resource
management. They also lay out the organization's longstanding focus
on the development of climate science and its applications.
Subsequent chapters explore the pros and cons of national vs.
international science, negotiating the nature of investigation and
cooperation across scientific, political and institutional
boundaries in the region; national perspectives on purpose, scope,
and mandates; assessing two major initiatives undertaken to date;
the challenges of incorporating social science into an organization
of mainly natural scientists.
