Trading Fish, Saving Fish: The Interaction between Regimes in International Law
 |
| Anteprima |
Numerous
international legal regimes now seek to address the global depletion of
fish stocks, and increasingly their activities overlap. The relevant
laws were developed at different times by different groups of states.
They are motivated by divergent economic approaches, influenced by
disparate non-state actors, and implemented by separate institutions
such as the World Trade Organization and the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization. Margaret Young shows how these and other
factors affect the interaction between regimes. Her empirical and
doctrinal analysis moves beyond the discussion of conflicting norms that
has dominated the fragmentation debate. Case-studies include the
negotiation of new rules on fisheries subsidies, the restriction of
trade in endangered marine species and the adjudication of fisheries
import bans. She explores how regimes should interact, in fisheries
governance and beyond, to offer insights into the practice and
legitimacy of regime interaction in international law.
