    Book description

    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.

    Reviews

    '… a beautifully written work based on extremely thorough research which effectively opens a new area of scholarship to the academe … Anyone interested in the issues of fragmentation, coherence and interaction in international law must read this book and many will wish to pick up the research themes outlined in it in their own research.'

    'Trading Fish, Saving Fish is an extremely insightful book and will reward careful reading, whether for a wider view of current fragmentation problems or for a highly specific consideration of aspects of fisheries law. On both counts the book represents scholarship of the most accomplished order and posits a valuable contribution to the emerging reconsideration of regimes and their functions within a fragmented international order, alongside important insights into the practical mechanics of fisheries governance.'
