Document Summary
The marginalization and land degradation thesis (blaikie and brook eld 1987): Otherwise environmentally innocuous local production systems undergo transition to overexploitation of natural resources on which they depend as a response to state development intervention and/or increasing integration in regional and global markets. This may lead to increasing property and, cyclically, increasing overexploitation. Political struggles: con ict involving different kinds of knowledge, opposition between institutions (lobbies and unions) The lobby tries to open up their own possibility to buy within the quota. One sherman will help private interest by asking for a level playing eld, lowering tariffs and encouraging trade probably. They are against the idea of a world market because maybe there is no tariff on certain sh in an area making competition for the local suppliers. According to the rules, different shermen would claim different rights. The same group of people can have different ideas and claims. The cod speaks for itself, it nearly became extinct.
