PoliticsandPolicyforThreatenedSeas
ClimateChangeandOceanGovernancebringstogetherauthorsfrompoliticalscience
and cognate disciplines to examine the political and policy dimensions of climate
change for our oceans. The environmental, social, and economic consequences of
oceanic change present tremendous challenges for governments and other actors.
New and innovative policies for governing oceans and seas – and for managing vital
marine resources – have never been more important. Existing national and interna-
tional institutions for marine governance that were created when oceanic conditions
were relatively static may not be adequate for a future characterized by continuous
oceanic change. Responses to oceanic change will result in winners and losers, and
thus will involve politics in all its manifestations. This book reveals the unavoidable
connections between climate change, the oceans, and questions of governance. It
provides valuable lessons for researchers, policymakers, and activists concerned
aboutgoverningoceanicchangeintothefuture.
