Governing Europe's Marine Environment

’Marine Governance scholars and practitioners are struggling to find appropriate ways to deal with the multi-level, multi-sector and multi-actor situation within a fragmented governance framework. This book offers a fascinating and diverse collection of analyses of European experiences. It provides valuable contributions and improves our understanding of the complexity of Marine Governance, and in this regard its scope is relevant far beyond Europe.’ Jesper Raakjær, Aalborg University, Denmark ’This reader, edited by Gilek and Kern, provides a comprehensive and comprehensible review of how marine environments are governed from an analytical, normative, European and regional perspective. It combines analytic rigor and a clear focus with multi-perspective, multi-level and multi-actor approaches to a synthesis of inclusive governance. The book is a must for all policy makers and scholars interested in maritime governance.’ Ortwin Renn, University of Stuttgart, Germany
