Australia has the third largest Exclusive Economic Zone (l° 648 250 km2) however overall commercial fisheries production is ranked relatively low in comparison with many other nations (240,000 metric tones per year, valued at $A2.2 billion)2.

The New Legal Pluralism, Paul Schiff Berman
The New Legal Pluralism, Paul Schiff Berman
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
Scholars studying interactions among multiple communities have often used the term legal pluralism to describe the inevitable intermingling of normative systems that results from these interactions. In recent years, a new application of pluralist insights has emerged in the international and transnational realm. This review aims to survey and help define this emerging field of global legal pluralism. I begin by briefly describing sites for pluralism research, both old and new. Then I discuss how pluralism has come to be seen as an attractive analytical framework for those interested in studying law on the world stage. Finally, I identify advantages …
