The Ocean as a Global System: Economics and Governance of Fisheries and Energy Resources (Finance & Sustainable Development)

This book brings together contributions from the Symposium “The Ocean: Green shipping and Sustainable Energy”, held in Paris in April 2011. The goal of the conference was to address critical issues regarding the ocean considered successively as a global ecosystem, as a global energy system and as a global regulation system.

The first part is concerned with the current state and the future of Fisheries. The second part deals with energy-related maritime activities. The third part is devoted to governance issues.

The book includes contributions by Ujjayant Chakravorty, Ivar Ekeland, Delphine Lautier, Daniel Pauly and Rashid Sumaila.
