Drawing on more than 30 case studies from around the world, this
book offers a multitude of examples for improving the governance of
small-scale fisheries. Contributors from some 36 countries argue
that reform, transformation and innovation are vital to achieving
sustainable small-scale fisheries - especially for mitigating the
threats and vulnerabilities of global change. For this to happen,
governing systems must be context-specific and the governability of
small-scale fisheries properly assessed. The volume corresponds
well with the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable
Small-Scale Fisheries adopted in 2014, spearheaded by the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). These affirm the
importance of small-scale fisheries for food security, nutrition,
livelihoods, rural development and poverty reduction. The book
arises from the project Too Big To Ignore: Global Partnership for
Small-Scale Fisheries Research (TBTI). "A nuanced, diverse, vibrant
and local-specific collection of essays - just as the small-scale
fisheries around the world - dealt with by this versatile array of
authors. Following on the heels of the recently adopted FAO
Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines, here is an erudite compendium
which I heartily recommend to policy makers, academics and
activists who wish to come to terms with the complex issue of
governance of this important field of human activity." John Kurien
- Founding Member of the International Collective in Support of
Fishworkers (ICSF), and Former Professor, Centre for Development
Studies, Trivandrum, India "Likely to become a classic in its
field, this book is about small-scale fisheries and interactive
governance - governance which is negotiated, deliberated upon, and
communicated among stakeholders who often share governing
responsibilities. The authors show that interactive governance is
not just a normative theory but a phenomenon that can be studied
empirically, here with 34 case studies from as many countries
around the world, north and south, east and west. Such "force of
example" enables the editors to put together well-developed
arguments and sometimes surprising conclusions about the way ahead.
A must-read for managers, practitioners, stakeholders, and
students!" Fikret Berkes - University of Manitoba, Canada, and
author of Coasts for People
