4 Fisheries management The Barents Sea fish resources have for centuries constituted a main foundation for life in the northern parts of Fennoscandia. As follows from Chapter 1, these resources have since the mid-1970s been managed by a bilateral Norwegian–Russian regime, which in turn partly serves to spur the implementation of these countries’ obligations in accordance with global and regional fisheries agreements. The main objective of this chapter is to discuss how Russian authorities since the break-up of the Soviet Union have implemented their
. 3 The enormous increase in marine fish catches since 1950 is mainly due to two factors: first, technical improvements, such as the development of sophisticated electronic fish-finding equipment, larger and stronger vessels and nets; and, second, greater investment in the fisheries of developing countries, especially in Asia. Of the eighteen States that averaged an annual marine fish catch of more

This book is a systematic study that considers how international environmental agreements are transformed into political action in Russia, using three case studies on the implementation process in the fields of fisheries management, nuclear safety, and air pollution control. It develops the social science debate on international environmental regimes and ‘implementing activities’ at both national and international level to include regional considerations.
The law of the sea is an up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of this branch of public international law. It begins by tracing the historical origins of the law of the sea and explaining its sources, notably the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. This is followed by chapters examining the various maritime zones into which the sea is legally divided, namely internal waters, the territorial sea, archipelagic waters, the contiguous zone, the continental shelf, the exclusive economic zone, the high seas and the International Seabed Area. In each case the legal nature of the zone and its physical dimensions are analysed. Separate chapters deal with the baselines from which the breadths of most maritime zones are delineated and the law governing the delimitation of boundaries between overlapping maritime zones. Later chapters discuss how international law regulates the safety of navigation, fisheries and scientific research, and provides for protection of the marine environment from pollution and biodiversity loss. The penultimate chapter addresses the question of landlocked States and the sea. The final chapter outlines the various ways in which maritime disputes may be settled. Throughout the book detailed reference is made not only to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, but also to other relevant instruments, the burgeoning case law of international courts and tribunals, and the academic literature.
10 Unfulfilled expectations? The EU’s agricultural and fisheries policies and Africa Alan Matthews Isn’t Europe actually turning its back on our countries? Isn’t there a kind of falling out of love – I don’t want to talk about divorce – but a kind of falling out of love with Africa? Luc Magloire Mbarga Atangana, Cameroon’s Trade Minister, 29 April 2010.1 This chapter examines the changing dynamics of EU–African relations in agri-food trade. The EU takes 50 per cent of Africa’s food exports and supplies just under 30 per cent of its food imports.2 It is a
hear? Clams [scallops] are £37 a bag now. Billy: Fuck’s sake! How are you supposed to make a living on that? Donnie: That is £9.50 a kilo. The Americans are putting it on the market at £11 a kilo. They say they will have to pay boats here £8.50 a kilo to compete! That’s another one [a fishery] fairly fucked, like. They say that American factory ships are processing the stuff on board, that’s how they can sell it so low. Doesn’t take a big drop to stop making it viable. Billy: Aye, remember when the pursers1 went to the wall a few years ago when the price of mackerel
can the success or failure in each individual case best be explained? As a point of departure for this discussion, we set out some of our main conclusions from the case studies on implementation performance and target compliance. Rounding up the chapter, we attempt to extract some lessons of a more general nature from our study. Implementation performance and target compliance In Chapter 4, we observed that Northwest Russian fisheries during the 1990s could be described in terms of three main features, the one partly issuing from the other: the diffusion of
Moscow and the Russian regions, and have only to a very limited extent delved into specific areas of politics such as environmental issues.9 Hence, the present study seeks to fill a gap in the existing literature by providing both a systematic indepth analysis of various cases from the management of natural resources and the environment and linking the discussion closely to general trends in contemporary Russian politics. The book includes case studies from the fields of fisheries management,10 nuclear safety and air pollution control in Northwestern Russia,11 here
choice could be made. As a result, IIAs 83 84 Spaces reconciled were represented as enabling a technisation of management decisions through evacuating politics from scientific and social scientific questions. By contrast, in this chapter I argue that far from being sites of mere technical regulation, IIAs provide critical new spaces for European political work. More precisely, I contend that IIAs are ‘political’ in two ways: first, in the course of IIA, important value judgements are made, not only about the content of a policy area (here, fisheries) but about the
