This volume examines
issues of property rights and regulatory systems at different
levels in the hierarchy of management, from local inshore
fisheries through coastal state jurisdiction, to international
high-seas regimes. Common property rights pose one of the most
pervasive problems for fisheries management, legitimizing
exploitative behaviours among competing resource users and
inhibiting the development of effective management regimes for
sustainable fisheries. Contributions include an assessment of the
new international regime in the aftermath of the UN Agreement on
high-seas fishing, the legal interpretations of property rights,
key issues for the reform of the European Union's Common Fisheries
Policy, and the efficacy of local community management systems.
