Description
This text sets out to develop new ideas on the development of fisheries in Europe. The scholarly and political attention for fisheries in general within Europe is predominantly focused on problems of controlling catch. In this book, it is not the problems of harvesting which are taken as the starting point, but opportunities in fisheries as a whole: catch, processing, market and consumption of fish and fish products. Secondly, the discussion is broadened to include the management of fisheries from the perspective of governance rather than management of policy. Governance is an important concept being developed in several areas of social science, and in this work the governance concept is related to the creation of new opportunities for fisheries in Europe. The combination of these two approaches is not only important for fisheries (in Europe) but also to the governance of natural resources more generally where the shift from a problem to an opportunity, and from a management or a governance approach might shed new light and stimulate new actions.
The book is the product of close co-operation between scholars from biological, geographical, political science, mangement studies and anthropological backgrounds.
