This comprehensive handbook, prepared by leading ocean policy
academics and practitioners from around the world, presents
in-depth analyses of the experiences of fifteen developed and
developing nations and four key regions of the world that have
taken concrete steps toward cross-cutting and integrated national
and regional ocean policy. All chapters follow a common framework
for policy analysis. While most coastal nations of the world
already have a variety of sectoral policies in place to manage
different uses of the ocean (such as shipping, fishing, oil and gas
development), in the last two decades, the coastal nations covered
in the book have undertaken concerted efforts to articulate and
implement an integrated, ecosystem-based vision for the governance
of ocean areas under their jurisdiction. This includes goals and
procedures to harmonize existing uses and laws, to foster
sustainable development of ocean areas, to protect biodiversity and
vulnerable resources and ecosystems, and to coordinate the actions
of the many government agencies that are typically involved in
oceans affairs. The book highlights the serious conflicts of use in
most national ocean zones and the varying attempts by nations to
follow the prescriptions emanating from the 1982 UN Law of the Sea
Convention and the outcomes of the 1992, 2002, and 2012 sustainable
development summits. The interrelationship among uses and processes
in the coast and ocean requires that ocean governance be
integrated, precautionary, and anticipatory. Overall, the book
provides a definitive state-of-the-art review and analysis of
national and regional ocean policies around the world.
Recent assessment of progress in coastal management at the national
level shows an impressive growth of efforts after the 1992 Earth
Summit, particularly in Europe and the Mediterranean. This book
contains regional surveys of coastal management progress in Europe
and the Mediterranean since 1992, discussion regional trends,
development sin decision making, and cooperative activities. It
then goes on to assess national progress towards coastal
management, including the development of national coastal
management systems, efforts at coordinated planning and management,
and the development and use of environmental codes of practice. It
then examines selected priority issues in the Northern Adriatic:
economic integration and regional economic development,
international scientific and technological cooperation in marine
affairs and coastal tourism. Finally, the book covers the use of
GIS in coastal environments and coastal engineering, the role
played by scientific information in coastal policy, and the
importance of free trade agreements.

This book is an edited volume that focuses on international norms
and normative change in some of the key areas of sustainable human
development. This is an important and timely topic since the
international community adopted a set of Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) in September of 2015. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development will guide international development efforts over the
next fifteen years. For this reason, developing a deeper
understanding of the SDGs, the international norms that underpin
them, and any normative change they represent is vital for
students, scholars, and development practitioners and
professionals. This volume is designed to provide an account of
some of the normative debates and normative change that the process
of developing a set of SDGs has entailed. Its goal is to assess the
origins, nature, extent, and implications of normative change in
the context of the post-2015 development agenda. It also evaluates
the extent to which the SDGs represent a significant change from
established development norms and practices.
