“…The historically dominant focus on naval power has been met by scholars interested in a more comprehensive conceptualisation of security in the maritime domain (Bueger, 2015;Chapsos, 2016;Chapsos and Malcolm, 2017;Germond, 2015;Till, 2009).

“…Shifting emphasis on to the maritime domain specifically, the relationship between sustainable development and security has been increasingly highlighted in recent years, particularly in the nascent academic literature on maritime security as a concept. The historically dominant focus on naval power has been met by scholars interested in a more comprehensive conceptualisation of security in the maritime domain (Bueger, 2015;Chapsos, 2016;Chapsos and Malcolm, 2017;Germond, 2015;Till, 2009). Here interest has fallen on challenges such as illegal fishing or drugs trafficking by sea, and understanding the implications of insecurity on groups such as coastal communities; an approach influenced by broader concepts such as human security.…”

‘Sustainability as Maritime Security: A Small Island Developing State Perspective?’

The article begins the process of outlining the way in which maritime security challenges are publicly articulated by Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in order to better understand the backdrop against which security policy and practice emerge. To do this the article discusses the results of an initial, exploratory content analysis of UN SIDS conference documents framed by the central research question, ‘In the SIDS’ public conceptualisation of sustainable development, how are maritime security threats articulated?’ The article argues that for SIDS their conceptualisation of maritime security is inextricably wrapped up in concerns about sustainable development, with concern about challenges such as illegal fishing being pinpointed as threats to food security. The article calls for more research on the extent to which SIDS’ conceptualisation of maritime security differs regionally; highlights a vulnerability straitjacket SIDS may find themselves wearing; and suggests that SIDS consider the development of holistic sustainable blue growth strategies to bring multiple stakeholders together to enhance human wellbeing. To conclude, the article argues that ultimately efforts to pursue enhanced maritime security by SIDS will be determined by how they chart a path between emphasising their own vulnerability and the opportunities associated with their maritime domain.

“…Quanto à estratégia militar geral, Portugal deverá pugnar por manter intactas as suas zonas de responsabilidade em termos de segurança, busca e salvamento marítimo, assegurar o desenvolvimento económico e preservar o ambiente (Bueger, 2015); garantindo a sua soberania sobre territórios, recursos e conhecimentos suscetíveis à cobiça de potências, que alegando a proteção dos global commons, desejem expandir as suas áreas de influência geopolítica e geoestratégica (Germond, 2015). Para tal, considera-se necessário reforçar a operacionalidade da Marinha na sua vertente de «Duplo Uso», em conjugação com a Força Aérea, e aproveitar o esforço tecnológico e científico que ambas têm desenvolvido no sentido da implementação de uma Economia de Defesa no País (Neves, 2013), (Morgado, 2016).…”

“…Policymakers are growing increasingly concerned about conflicts overfishery resources (Germond, ; Hassani‐Mahmooei & Parris, ). Wild capture fisheries production has stagnated over the last 20 years (FAO, ; Pauly et al., , Worm, ), and climate change is expected to alter the distributions and potential yields of exploited marine species (Cheung et al., ; Miller, Munro, Sumaila, & Cheung, ; Sumaila, Cheung, Lam, Pauly, & Herrick, ; UNEP, ).…”

Marine fisheries and future ocean conflict

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Conflict over marine fishery resources is a growing security concern. Experts expect that global changes in our climate, food systems and oceans may spark or exacerbate resource conflicts. An initial scan of 803 relevant papers and subsequent intensive review of 31 fisheries conflict studies, focused on subnational and international conflicts, suggests that four substantial scientific gaps need addressing to improve our understanding of the nature and drivers of fisheries conflict. First, fisheries conflict and levels of conflict intensity are not precisely defined. Second, complex adaptive systems thinking is underutilized but has the potential to produce more realistic causal models of fishery conflict. Third, comparative large‐scale data and suitably integrative methodologies are lacking, underscoring the need for a standardized and comparable database of fisheries conflict cases to aid extrapolation beyond single case‐studies. Fourth, there is room for a more widespread application of higher order concepts and associated terminology. Importantly, the four gaps highlight the homogenized nature of current methodological and theoretical approaches to understanding fishery conflict, which potentially presents us with an oversimplified understanding of these conflicts. A more nuanced understanding of the complex and dynamic nature of fishery conflict and its causes is not only scientifically critical, but increasingly relevant for policymakers and practitioners in this turbulent world.
