‘For readers familiar with the topic, this book offers a novel angle on the analysis of RFMOs’ effectiveness and performance, one that relies on variables and criteria that cover substantive, procedural and institutional aspects of governance. This is what distinguishes this book from other legal studies on fisheries management. While the author recognises that there is no “one best way” for management and governance, it is definitely the acknowledgement of the complex nature of fisheries that is the key for improved solutions and outcomes. This book participates in the exploration of the possible ways for fisheries organisations to address long-lasting challenges that are re-shaped in the time of change we find ourselves in.’
