Brief description: D. G. Webster is Associate Professor in the Environmental Studies Program at Dartmouth College and the author of Adaptive Governance: The Dynamics of Atlantic Fisheries Management (MIT Press).
Review Quotes: "Webster presents a superb analysis of international fisheries regulation, combining keen political and economic insights into why states take the positions they do and why successful international fisheries management has been so hard to come by. Her rich analysis of efforts to manage Atlantic fisheries demonstrates the value of her vulnerability response framework to generate theoretically sophisticated but empirically accurate insights. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand international fisheries or global environmental governance."--Ronald Mitchell, Department of Political Science, University of Oregon
