Sociology & anthropology

Contemporary politics around fisheries are complex and contentious. Fishers' movements and their political agendas have played a critical role in global fisheries, particularly in the context of rural and environmental transformations. This book explores two transnational movements representing small-scale fishers - the World Forum of Fisher Peoples (WFFP) and the World Forum of Fish Harvesters and Fish Workers (WFF). It brings the politics of these movements into academic and political debates by exploring three connected analytical spheres: transnational movements contesting and seeking to influence the politics of global fisheries; international political spaces movements are prioritizing; and contentious fisheries issues movements are struggling over. This book draws upon political economy and political ecology debates, focusing its multi-layered analytical approach on socio-ecological dynamics of fisheries politics.

Reviews for Global Fishers: The Politics of Transnational Movements

"""This book fills an important gap in the literature on global politics and transnational social movements through its focus on small-scale fishers' movements.""--Kristen Lowitt, Queen's University ""This is a very well researched and written book that will make an important contribution to the scholarship and practice of transnational fishers' movements and social movements more broadly. The text provides a valuable overview of two key network organizations at the centre of fishers' movements and traces their origins, development, and engagement in contemporary transnational political spaces.""--Charles Levkoe, Lakehead University"
