Oceans Governance in the Twenty-first Century analyses the
development of national, regional and international initiatives and
arrangements directed towards governance of the world's seas and
oceans. The authors examine those factors that shape oceans
governance, as well as the supports and constraints affecting
policy development and implementation. In addition, the book
invaluably includes discussion of contemporary international and
selected regional initiatives - including the development of a
maritime policy by the EU. The processes and outcomes that have
arisen in the development of oceans policy in Australia, Canada,
New Zealand and the US are also summarised. This analysis centres
on the key elements of institutional design, policy capacity, and
the policy framework adopted as important supports to facilitate
integrated oceans management. The book concludes that, despite
increased attention to the oceans over the past two decades, major
challenges remain, even where states have made concerted efforts to
develop new approaches to ocean management. Marcus Haward and
Joanna Vince's thorough study will appeal to researchers and
academics at under and postgraduate levels working in the field of
environmental management, as well as oceans and coastal management
and governance. It will also be highly useful to policy makers with
responsibilities for oceans and coastal management.
This incisive book addresses the challenges facing the current
institutional framework for governance of high seas fisheries.
Marcus Haward identifies significant issues and difficulties
affecting the management of fisheries in areas beyond national
jurisdiction, as well as highlighting the key role that fishing and
fisheries play in global ocean governance. Through an assessment of
the development of regional fisheries organizations and their
implementation of management tools, Haward demonstrates their
importance in contemporary ocean governance, offering a critical
examination of the challenges they face in the pursuit of
sustainable fisheries management. The book investigates the ability
of regional fisheries bodies to constrain catches and capacity, and
explores the factors impacting this, for example, states' lack of
cooperation and failure to commit to effective enforcement, and
conflicting interests in resource utilization and conservation.
Governing Oceans in a Time of Change will prove a critical read for
scholars and students of environmental policy, management and
governance, particularly those with an interest in ocean governance
and fisheries. Policymakers and practitioners working in this area
will also find this book beneficial.
"The Forest and the Marine Stewardship Councils constitute new
global governance institutions using voluntary certification and
labelling as market incentives to encourage sustainable management.
Utilizing a comparative political economic framework, the authors
analyze shifting British, Canadian and Australian responses to the
stewardship councils"--
As global great power competition intensifies, there is growing
concern about the geopolitical future of Antarctica. This book
delves into the question of how can we anticipate, prepare for, and
potentially even shape that future? Now in its 60th year, the
Antarctic Treaty System has been comparatively resilient and
successful in governing the Antarctic region. This book assesses
how our ability to make accurate predictions about the future of
the Antarctic Treaty System reduces rapidly in the face of
political and biophysical complexity, uncertainty, and the passage
of time. This poses a critical risk for organisations making
long-range decisions about their policy, strategy, and investments
in the frozen south. Scenarios are useful planning tools for
considering futures beyond the limits of standard prediction. This
book explores how a multi-disciplinary focus of classical
geopolitics might be applied systematically to create scenarios on
Antarctic futures that are plausible, rigorous, and robust. This
book illustrates a pragmatic, nine-step scenario development
process, using the topical issue of military activities in
Antarctica. Along the way, the authors make suggestions to augment
current theory and practice of geopolitical scenario planning. In
doing so, this book seeks to rediscover the importance of a
classical (primarily state-centric) lens on Antarctic geopolitics,
which in recent decades has been overshadowed by more critical
perspectives. This book is written for anyone with an interest in
the rigorous assessment of geopolitical futures - in Antarctica and
beyond.

Sustainability challenges blur the boundaries between academic
disciplines, between research, policy and practice, and between
states, markets and society. What do exemplary scientists and
organisations do to bridge the gaps between these groups and help
their research to make the greatest impact? How do they do it? And
how can their best practices be adapted for a diverse range of
specific sustainability challenges? Enhancing Science Impact:
Bridging Research, Policy and Practice for Sustainability addresses
these questions in an accessible and engaging way. It provides
principles explaining how research programs can work more
effectively across the boundaries between science, society and
decision-making by building social andinstitutional networks. The
book suggests ways of defining and thinking about problems and then
offers five frameworks for embedding science within specific
governance contexts. It will be an indispensable guide for
researcher leaders, science program managers and science policy
advisers interested in ensuring applied research can meaningfully
contribute to sustainability outcomes. Features A highly readable
and easily applicable guide for scientists, research managers and
science policy advisers on howto create outcomes from environmental
research Provides a conceptual model for improving the design and
implementation of outcome-based science programs Break out boxes
provide supplementary information, examples and simple method
outlines.
