Expanding infrastructure ontologies
Diverse knowledge insights are essential to inform action on bringing about transformations in how societies live with changing Earth, ocean and coastal systems. However, knowledge forms typically used in governance systems are stubbornly limited. This paper analyses the extent to which an expanding ontology of the concept of ‘infrastructure’ can contribute to building more integrated knowledge for governance in ocean and coastal contexts. This p…
Foresighting future oceans
Full spectrum sustainability and a theory of access
The United Nations has identified access to and benefits from fisheries resources as key sustainable development challenges. The business-as-usual management approach focusing on a limited set of biological and economic considerations has not adequately addressed widespread global calls for governing the distribution of access and benefits effectively and equitably. Our paper develops a novel approach for incorporating social science analysis of …
Marine Stewardship Council sustainability certification in developing countries
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) features small-scale and developing country fisheries prominently in promoting its sustainability program, yet the problem of low levels of certification in developing country fisheries is a long-standing and important issue in marine policy. The objective of this paper is to better understand small-scale, developing country fishery experiences with the oldest fisheries certification program globally. It does …

Social-ecological reproduction and the substance of life in commodity frontiers
The purpose of this article is to deepen analyses of life production relations that are of central concern to the feminist global political economy frameworks around which this special issue is organized. While the original approach recognized ecological relations in its methodological synthesis of power, production, and social reproduction, most subsequent research engaging the approach focuses on areas such as household labor, health care, educ…
Ocean grabbing, terraqueous territoriality and social development
This paper reframes the ocean-grabbing literature by moving beyond accounts where small-scale producers and communities are portrayed as only victims of states and capital. While state and corporate efforts to 'grab' resources require critical attention, the literature on ocean grabbing risks obscuring the multidimensional relations of less powerful agents. This paper engages access analysis to reveal complex spatial, social and political process…

The territorialization of transnational sustainability governance
To contribute to the literature on transnational sustainability governance hybrids, a new fisheries certification program in Iceland that was originally developed as an alternative to the non-governmental Marine Stewardship Council is examined. While this new program appears on the surface to constitute a purely nationalistic reaction against external non-state authority, the new governance institution is also non-governmental and incorporates in…
Making Space for Community Use Rights
Community use rights are rarely considered to be an economically viable or efficient option in conventional fisheries management policy. Our analysis challenges this view by pointing to the positive economic and social outcomes of community use rights in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. We argue that resources allocated to community-based organizations can be used to build “community economies,” in the theoretical vocabulary of…
The rise of territorial eco-certifications
Eco-certifications have become an important site of power struggles in commodity sectors such as forestry, fisheries, aquaculture, palm oil, and soy. In each, multiple eco-certification initiatives have been developed and resisted through interactions among non-governmental organizations, governments, and commercial actors. This paper contributes to understanding how power is embodied in certifications by exploring how territoriality manifests in…
Certifying the commons
We examine new dynamics of privatization and collective action in common pool resource situations facilitated by the nonstate multistakeholder institutions of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), the global leader in sustainability certification for wild caught seafood. Through a review of the literature and two case studies of fishing cooperatives in Baja California Sur, Mexico and on Fogo Island in the Canadian Province of Newfoundland and Lab…
Alternative Regimes of Transnational Environmental Certification
Transnational certification and ecolabeling programs have become an important new site of environmental governance, as well as an emerging arena for action and conflict in international trade. This paper explores the implementation of Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification in salmon fisheries in the US state of Alaska in the early 2000s, the growing opposition within the industry to MSC certification through periods of reassessment, and t…
National Government Responses to Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Fisheries Certification
Over the last decade, the proliferation of social and environmental certification programmes has attracted the attention of a growing number of political scientists interested in new forms of ‘private’ transnational governance. However, we still lack analyses on the nature and extent of different state responses to and involvement in new private transnational governance arrangements in particular sectors and in different jurisdictions. This artic…
The Political Economy of Marine Stewardship Council Certification
In August 2008, the Northern shrimp, a prey of the iconic cod, became the first species managed by the Canadian government to meet the Marine Stewardship Council's (MSC) standard for 'sustainable and well-managed' fisheries. Using the Northern shrimp fishery as a case study, this paper argues that rather than being simply a tool for sustainability or even earning market access, MSC certification allows fishery 'clients'- those organizations that …
Egovernment and the Transformation Agenda
Government policy‐making emphasis worldwide is moving increasingly to how ICT can be used to achieve efficiency savings ( Gershon 2004 ) or to transform activities ( Cabinet Office; Transformational Government 2005 ). The role of ICT in achieving efficiency benefits or supporting transformational change is almost universally accepted by policy‐makers, despite the fact that little robust evidence exists. eGovernment evaluation methodologies are re…
Changes in the banking sector – the case of Internet banking in the UK
The Internet is gaining popularity as a delivery channel in the banking sector. At the same time, customer needs are changing. A total of 12 Internet banking operations in the UK are analysed under customer empowerment functions and Internet banking Web attributes. Internet banking renders location and time irrelevant, and empowers customers with greater control of their accounts. Banks achieve cost and efficiency gains in a large number of opera…

A new deal for the community? Public participation in regeneration and local service delivery
English In the UK regeneration strategies and patterns of local service provision have usually been imposed from the top down. Most communities have had little influence over plans to revitalise their areas or the design and delivery of services. The ‘New Labour’ government has emphasised its commitment to involving local people in a wide range of policy decisions relating to employment, health, crime reduction, education, local government servic…

Ethics, Geography and Responsible Citizenship [1]
Responsible citizenship requires moral accountability. Geography educators need to give greater attention to the teaching of professional ethics as part of our contribution to the education of responsible citizens. The paper introduces an approach which couples the case method with a jurisprudential inquiry model as a means by which geography teachers might contribute effectively to this education. The approach requires students to review a case …

New Process Technology and the Regeneration of the Manufacturing Sector of an Urban Economy
Local economic development strategies for the manufacturing sectors of urban areas have tended to focus on either inward investment or the stimulation of new firms. This paper argues more attention should be focused upon existing large manufacturing operations. The introduction of new process technologies into existing establishments may enhance the competitiveness of an urban economy. Using data from a new survey of the larger metal-using establ…

The Impact of Toyota on Derbyshire's Local Economy and Labour Market
Many localities are aware of the need to attract inward investment. This article examines the impact of Toyota's £700 million investment in Derbyshire. It investigates its direct and indirect employment effects. The article attempts to go beyond the predominantly quantitative approach adopted in previous studies by examining the characteristics of the new jobs at Toyota, and those who secure them. In addition, the nature of supplier likages and m…

Production Site R&d in a Mature Industrial Region
A mature industrial region is often characterised by a lack of free‐standing R&D units. This article shows that the absence of free‐standing R&D units is paralleled by limited R&D activities within production sites. Most plants outsource some R&D activities, and the most frequently cited suppliers of R&D are consultants together with local colleges and universities. Externally‐owned plants are more likely to employ full‐time research staff and to…

One way to overcome the problem of duplication is for organizations to c…
Local perspectives on new process technology and employment
This article examines the introduction of new process technology into a local labour market in the late 1980s and relates variations in adoption rates to establishment characteristics. The authors highlight the contrasts in the employment outcomes and training requirements in adopting and non‐adopting establishments and find that ‘adopters' expect more changes in employment, more skills shortages and have a greater awareness of future training ne…
