The ocean as a global system - Economics and governance of fisheries and energy resources

This book gathers together contributions from the Symposium “The Ocean: Green Shipping and Sustainable Energy”, held in Paris on 28-29 April 2011. The aim of the conference was to address critical issues regarding the ocean, considered successively as a global ecosystem, as a global energy system and as a global regulation system. The first part of the book is concerned with the current state and the future of fisheries.
The second part deals with energy-related maritime activities, while the third offers a global perspective on these issues. The Finance and Sustainable Development Chair is a network of researchers who have worked together since 2007. This project is the result of collaboration, under the aegis of the Fondation Institut Europlace de Finance and sponsored by EDF and Crédit Agricole CIB, between Université Paris-Dauphine and the Ecole Polytechnique.
