Synopses & Reviews
Fishing for a Solution provides a detailed, policy-based account of the development of Canadas fisheries relations with the European Union and includes the experience of participants from inside the deliberations and negotiations. It covers over thirty-five years of this contentious international relationship, from the establishment of Canadas 200-mile offshore limit in 1977 to the progress made in approving the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Convention proposed in 2007. For anyone interested in the workings of Canadian foreign policy, resource policy, or in the complexities of managing international relations, it offers a unique account of the development of Canada-EU fisheries relations, blending the academic perspective of a long-time student of those relations with the insights of two former senior public servants who served within the international directorate of Canadas Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
