Governing High Seas Fisheries The Interplay of Global and Regional Regimes [Hardcover]

The 1990s saw a wave of regional disputes over fish stocks that straddle both national waters and the high seas. Here, leading scholars attempt to explain the nature of these disputes. They ask whether evolving regimes meet the scientific, regulatory, and compliance-related tasks of effective management, and show the significance of regime interplay in this regard.
