Principles And Practice For The Equitable Governance Of Transboundary Natural Resources: Cross-Cutting Lessons For Marine Fisheries Management, Brooke M. Campbell, Quentin A. Hanich Jan 2015

Principles And Practice For The Equitable Governance Of Transboundary Natural Resources: Cross-Cutting Lessons For Marine Fisheries Management, Brooke M. Campbell, Quentin A. Hanich

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Conflicts over the equitability of transboundary natural resource conservation and management schemes have created barriers to effective policy implementation and practice. In seeking to overcome these barriers in the context of progressing transboundary oceanic fisheries conservation, we explore the divide between equity as defined in principle and as applied in practice in international policy and law. Searching for cross-cutting lessons and themes, we first review multilateral environmental agreements to see how equity is commonly being defined, understood, and then applied in principle. From this analysis, we identify common elements that can facilitate the conceptual framing and application of equitable principles …


How Should Rural Policy Be Evaluated If It Aims To Foster Community Involvement In Environmental Management?, Katrin Prager, Birte Nienaber, Barbara Neumann, Alistair Phillips Jan 2015

How Should Rural Policy Be Evaluated If It Aims To Foster Community Involvement In Environmental Management?, Katrin Prager, Birte Nienaber, Barbara Neumann, Alistair Phillips

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This paper brings together different theoretical perspectives to propose an evaluation framework for policies which have the explicit aim to foster communities' involvement in the management of their natural environment in the context of sustainable rural development, such as the EU LEADER programme, Australia's Caring for Our Country, and UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. Previous policy evaluations have over-simplified the complex social-ecological systems on which these policies are intended to act, have lacked specification of the policy level they address and were predicated on the assumption that policies can be designed to produce predictable outcomes. Based on a concept of ‘complex realities’ …

This paper outlines the benefits of using the framework for an ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) for dealing with the inevitable yet unclear impacts of climate change and ocean acidification on coastal fisheries. With a focus on the Asia-Pacific region, it summarizes the projected biological and socio-economic effects of increased emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) for coastal fisheries and illustrates how all the important dimensions of climate change and ocean acidification can be integrated into the steps involved in the EAFM planning process. The activities required to harness the full potential of an EAFM as an adaptation to climate …


Interpreting, Stephanie Jo Kent Aug 2014

Interpreting, Stephanie Jo Kent

Doctoral Dissertations

What do community interpreting for the Deaf in western societies, conference interpreting for the European Parliament, and language brokering in international management have in common? Academic research and professional training have historically emphasized the linguistic and cognitive challenges of interpreting, neglecting or ignoring the social aspects that structure communication. All forms of interpreting are inherently social; they involve relationships among at least three people and two languages. The contexts explored here, American Sign Language/English interpreting and spoken language interpreting within the European Parliament, show that simultaneous interpreting involves attitudes, norms and values about intercultural communication that overemphasize information and discount …

Over 1.3 billion people live on tropical coasts, primarily in developing countries. Many depend on adjacent coastal seas for food, and livelihoods. We show how trends in demography and in several local and global anthropogenic stressors are progressively degrading capacity of coastal waters to sustain these people. Far more effective approaches to environmental management are needed if the loss in provision of ecosystem goods and services is to be stemmed. We propose expanded use of marine spatial planning as a framework for more effective, pragmatic management based on ocean zones to accommodate conflicting uses. This would force the holistic, regional-scale …

In this paper we describe the construction of an online GIS database system, hosted by WorldFish, which stores bio-physical, ecological and socio-economic data for the 'Coral Triangle Area' in South-east Asia and the Pacific. The database has been built in partnership with all six (Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Indonesia, The Philippines, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea) of the Coral Triangle countries, and represents a valuable source of information for natural resource managers at the regional scale. Its utility is demonstrated using biophysical data, data summarising marine habitats, and data describing the extent of marine protected areas in the region.


Towards A Legal Framework For A Single National Ballast Water Management Scheme In Australia, Ben M. Tsamenyi, Stuart B. Kaye, Alison Castle Mar 2013

Towards A Legal Framework For A Single National Ballast Water Management Scheme In Australia, Ben M. Tsamenyi, Stuart B. Kaye, Alison Castle

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

Introduced Marine Pests (IMPs) pose a serious threat to marine biodiversity in Australia. There are many ways pests are introduced into the marine environment. The major vectors for IMPs are ballast water, ship fouling, accidental introductions due to mariculture and deliberate introduction. The focus of this paper is on the administrative and legislative response to the introduction of IMPs through ballast water. Historically, ballast water accounts for only 15-20 per cent of the invasive marine species found in Australia. Ballast water is, however, becoming the major threatening vector in the last two decades. The current ballast water legislative and administrative …

The Institutional Framework For Regional Cooperation In Ocean And Coastal Management In The South Pacific, Ben Tsamenyi Mar 2013

The Institutional Framework For Regional Cooperation In Ocean And Coastal Management In The South Pacific, Ben Tsamenyi

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

Constrained by physical and economic factors, the States and Territories in the central and southwestern Pacific region (the Pacific Island States and Territories) have utilized regional cooperation in addressing many of the coastal and marine resources development issues facing the region. Regional cooperation in dealing with coastal and marine issues has been facilitated largely through the establishment of a number of regional organizations. This article discusses the institutional frameworks for regional cooperation in coastal and marine resources and environmental management by the Pacific Island States and Territories. The article also highlights efforts being made to achieve better harmonization of the …

The Use Of Gis And Geospatial Technologies In Support Of Coastal Zones Management-Results Of An International Survey, Rodolphe Devillers, Debora M. De Freitas

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This paper reports on the results of an international survey looking at the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other geospatial technologies in support of coastal zones management. The survey, conducted in fall 2012, was answered by 328 respondents coming from 59 different countries. It aimed at assessing the proportion of people using such technologies, identifying which specific technologies are used, how often they are used, what they are used for, etc. A set of questions also asked more specifically about the potential of using volunteered geographic information (VGI) in the context of coastal zones management. Results indicate that …

A Case Study Of Globalized Knowledge Flows: Guanxi In Social Science And Management Theory, Xiaoying Qi Jan 2012

A Case Study Of Globalized Knowledge Flows: Guanxi In Social Science And Management Theory, Xiaoying Qi

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This article examines globalized knowledge flows through a case study of the treatment of the Chinese concept of guanxi in social and management science journals. Three forms of concept– theory relations are postulated which effectively correspond with different patterns of knowledge flow. The treatment of this concept in 214 refereed journal articles published from 1999 to 2009 indicates that the concept guanxi, which possesses capacity for theoretical development, is predominantly treated merely as an object of study rather than the basis of theoretical elaboration. A continuing dominant pattern of knowledge flows from the metropole to the periphery is thus indicated. …


Science, Biodiversity And Australian Management Of Marine Ecosystems, Richard Kenchington, Pat Hutchings Jan 2012

Science, Biodiversity And Australian Management Of Marine Ecosystems, Richard Kenchington, Pat Hutchings

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

The United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) (United Nations 1982) came into effect in 1994. Signatory nations have substantial management obligations for conservation of marine natural resource and ecosystems. In this paper we discuss the challenges of defining and monitoring biodiversity at scales required for management of marine ecosystems. Australia's area of immediate responsibility under UNCLOS covers an area of 11 million sq km with further linked responsibilities for an estimated area of 5.1 million sq km of continental shelf. This presents substantial data challenges for development and implementation of management. Acoustic seabed mapping is providing substantial …


The Pathogenesis Of Human Papillomavirus (Hpv) In The Development Of Cervical Cancer: Are Hpv Vaccines A Safe And Effective Management Strategy?, Roslyn Judith Wilyman Jan 2011

The Pathogenesis Of Human Papillomavirus (Hpv) In The Development Of Cervical Cancer: Are Hpv Vaccines A Safe And Effective Management Strategy?, Roslyn Judith Wilyman

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been linked with cervical cancer. Some medical professionals see it as the determining causal agent and therefore promote vaccination as an effective prevention strategy. However, the biological plausibility of a causal theory requires that the incidence of the causal agent varies with the incidence and mortality of the disease. Yet the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer do not vary with the incidence of infection with HPV strains 16 and 18; the strains covered by the HPV vaccine. Though HPV infection is a necessary precursor to most cervical cancer, most high-risk HPV infections (with one …
