'A perfect blend of historical, theoretical and practical perspectives on international fisheries and ocean governance. This book offers masterful critiques of how ecosystem and precautionary approaches are being implemented in four regions of the world - the Northeast Atlantic, Western and Central Pacific, the Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean. Haward provides a comprehensive guide on the many ways to assess the effectiveness of regional fisheries management organizations including their struggles to address climate change and to protect marine biodiversity.' -- David VanderZwaag, Marine and Environmental Law Institute, Dalhousie University, Canada 'Regional fisheries regimes constitute a distinct class of governance systems. But, increasingly, they interact with regimes dealing with shipping, marine mammals, seabirds, deep seabed mining, pollutants, and marine protected areas as well as with global arrangements addressing climate change and the loss of biodiversity. To understand the resultant institutional interplay, we need a conceptually sophisticated and descriptively rich account of the performance of fisheries regimes. Bringing to bear a combination of theoretical concepts, up-to-date quantitative data, and suitable case studies, Marcus Haward provides the most informed assessment of regional fisheries regimes available today.' -- Oran R. Young, University of California, Santa Barbara, US
