Liberalism in numbers only: Market-based administration of fishing rights in Peru and the Russian Federation
Roughly one quarter of the world’s wild fish harvests are regulated through an individual quota system with some degree of tradability. Why have states in a huge variety of circumstances across the world chosen market-based solutions to challenges of resource administration? This article considers two case studies: post-communist Russia, where individual quotas allocated via auction were instituted in some of the country’s most valuable fisheries…
Coping with crisis: The Peruvian state-owned fishing enterprise Pesca Perú, 1973–1998
This article examines why and how states use the legal and organisational construction of the state-owned enterprise (SOE) to deal with environmental and social crises. In 1973, in response to a drastic collapse in the world’s largest fishery, the Peruvian state nationalised its anchoveta fishing fleet and factories while hastily creating Pesca Perú, an SOE given a monopoly on industrial catch and exploitation of the resource. Pesca Perú struggle…
Institutionalism, the corporation, and the climate crisis
The transition to a zero-emissions world entails vast political economic restructuring. How resources are mobilized, what sorts of technological infrastructures are constructed, who funds, controls and has claim to profits from investments contributing to the green transition will shape political economies for generations to come. This article suggests that early 20th-century American institutionalism and subsequent legal institutionalist literat…
Narrative and computational text analysis in business and economic history
Recent calls from within economics for increased attention to narrative open the door to possible cross-fertilisation between economics and more humanistically oriented business and economic history. Indeed, arguments for economists to take narratives seriously and incorporate them into economic theory have some similarities with classic calls for a revival of narrative in history and abandonment of ‘scientific’ history. Both share an approach to…
Managing economies, managing nature: Industry and regulation of fisheries in the post-war Soviet Union and Norway
In the aftermath of the Second World War, states across the world sought to expand industrial fishing to both feed and employ their populations. This article examines the structure of the post-war fishing political economies in two countries separated by the Cold War divide: the Soviet Union and Norway. Their political-economic organization and governing ideologies differed, yet many of the goals and objectives of resource management were similar…
Corporate strategy in the Anthropocene: German electricity utilities and the nuclear sudden stop
In 2011, the major German electricity-producing utilities faced an existential crisis: a sudden and unexpected volte-face on nuclear power regulation together with greatly increased competition from renewables and severe economic downturn in their core markets. The situation approximates, on a small scale, fears around what has been called "transition risk": the danger to economies and financial systems posed by an abrupt transition away from fos…
The Fishmeal Revolution: The Industrialization of the Humboldt Current Ecosystem
In 1953, fishing yields in Peru were 28th highest in the world. Less than ten years later Peru had vaulted to number one. The registered capacity of the country's fishing fleet increased 39-fold, and the processing capacity of its fishmeal factories grew by a factor of 19. The subsequent collapse of Peruvian fishery in the early 1970s was almost equally as vertiginous.Kristin Wintersteen's The Fishmeal Revolution sets the fantastic story of the r…

Fish, coast and communities: A history of Norway
Fisheries’ collapse and the making of a global event, 1950s–1970s
This article analyses three fisheries crises in the post-war world – the Far East Asian Kamchatka salmon in the late 1950s, the north Atlantic Atlanto-Scandian herring of the late 1960s, and the Peruvian anchoveta of the early 1970s – to understand how each instance came to be understood as a ‘collapse’ in widely differing contexts and institutional settings, and how these crises led to changes in practices of natural resource administration and …
Forecasting Fisheries: Prediction and the planned economy in the Interwar Soviet Union
This essay looks at how the practices of Soviet fisheries science, focusing on the Caspian Sea region, changed in the late 1920s and 1930s. What was new in the 1930s was not so much increased emphasis on industrialized fisheries or the need for practical science, which had always been present in fisheries science. What stood out most, instead, was the marked shift to prediction as the preeminent goal of scientific activity driven by the concrete …

Science, states, and salmon: Communicating through disagreement over a Cold War fault line
How are scientific communication and knowledge-production possible even in a politicized atmosphere pervaded by distrust and animosity? This essay takes the Soviet-Japanese Fisheries Convention of the Northwest Pacific Ocean of 1956 as a case study to consider the nature and characteristics of scientific disputes in highly politically-charged contexts outside frameworks of nation-states or international bodies. It shows that disagreements in this…
