The way they proceed, and the degree to which they succeed, provide valuable lessons for riparian states seeking to avoid tragedies of their commons.� \u003cbr\u003eLennart J. Lundqvist, professor of environmental policy and administration, University of Gothenburg, Sweden\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow is a natural common pool resource such as a sea, which is shared by several countries, best governed? The potential for international conflict is immense, as each country may have different agendas with regard to issues such as exploitation and environmental protection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book uses a case study of the Baltic Sea Region to examine this complex problem. The sea itself has been highly vulnerable to pollution and recently the bordering nations have begun to change their mode of cooperation to tackle this issue by establishing several new forums to manage the sea. Administrative and political structures developed in the region are reviewed and shown to provide a model that could be applied to other seas and natural resource systems elsewhere in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marko Joas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844075370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844075379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Marko Joas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112781459711,"sku":"9781844075379","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dec6149a-3fc8-4afa-bb5a-703a7049e782.jpg?v=1769610897","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/governing-a-common-sea-marko-joas-9781844075379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
