Maritime Governance and Policy-Making
“Maritime Governance and Policy-Making” by Michael Roe, published by Springer London on August 9, 2014, is a comprehensive examination of the governance framework and jurisdictional arrangements affecting shipping and ports. This 444-page edition, written in English, explores the complexities of policy-making in the maritime industry, highlighting the tension between national interests and the globalized nature of the sector. Roe analyzes how the maritime industry navigates policies it finds unfavorable by leveraging the competitive dynamics among nations, ultimately questioning the effectiveness of current governance structures.
Readers will find a detailed discussion on the intersections of governance, jurisdiction, and policy as they pertain to the maritime sector. The book presents a post-modern interpretation of the globalized environment, suggesting necessary changes to enhance policy-making in maritime governance. It addresses critical issues relevant to a diverse audience, including students, researchers, and government officials, while situating maritime challenges within broader economic and legal contexts. This work serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the intricate dynamics of maritime operations and the implications of policy decisions in a globalized economy.
Official synopsis Publisher
A close analysis of the framework of existing governance and the existing jurisdictional arrangements for shipping and ports reveals that while policy-making is characterized by national considerations through flags, institutional representation at all jurisdictions and the inviolability of the state, the commercial, financial, legal and operational environment of the sector is almost wholly global. This governance mismatch means that in practice the maritime industry can avoid policies which it dislikes by trading nations off against one another, while enjoying the freedoms and benefits of a globalized economy.
A Post-modern interpretation of this globalized society prompts suggestions for change in maritime policy-making so that the governance of the sector better matches more closely the environment in which shipping and ports operate. Maritime Governance and Policy-Making is a controversial commentary on the record of policy-making in the maritime sector and assesses whether the reason for continued policy failure rests with the inadequate governance of the sector.
Maritime Governance and Policy-Making addresses fundamental questions of governance, jurisdiction and policy and applies them to the maritime sector. This makes it of much more interest to a much wider audience – including students, researchers, government officials, and those with industrial and commercial interests in the shipping and ports areas – and also of more value as it places the specific maritime issues into their wider context.
