この電子書籍について

This Open Access book “Ocean Governance (Beyond) Borders” is concerned with the persistence of bordering in ocean space, and the possibilities that might arise if we think beyond borders for modes of oceanic management, engaging the ocean’s fluid physicality and the mobile human and more-than-human life entangled with it. At a moment where ocean governance is a pressing topic amongst academics, policy makers, governments and non- governmental agencies alike, this book takes on one of the most overlooked but central devices underscoring many modes of oceanic management: the border.

Uniquely combining contemporary border scholarship with cutting edge ocean governance research this book tackles themes ranging from biodiversity conservation and asylum regulations to shipping management measures, tourism, and the growing blue economy. This edited volume hence explores varied bordering practices, whilst also addressing the ‘common-senseness’ with which bordering is deployed at sea, questioning – and problematising – its function and efficacy. Throughout 12 carefully curated chapters, authors ask: What borders are present in the seas and oceans, where and why? In doing this the book offers readers a simple provocation: Do we need borders? And can we govern differently?

著者について

Kimberley Peters leads a research group in Marine Governance at the Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity at the University of Oldenburg (HIFMB), part of the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research. Within this interdisciplinary research centre Kim uses spatial frames for understanding how watery spaces are organised and managed, and takes a critical approach to interrogating operations of power at sea.

Jennifer Turner leads the Cultural and Political Geography research group at Universität Trier and works predominantly on topics related to societal borders and boundaries. Jennifer first developed this interest in the context of the boundary between prison and society and now also focuses on non-prison spaces that may operate under similar conditions of spatial control and detriment, such as carceral seas.
