Call for Papers – Edited Volume – Ocean Governance. Pasts, Presents, FuturesDeadline: August 5, 2019 The aim of the proposed book is to provide an internationally visible compendium of salient discussions about the past and present contradictions and future outlooks of and on the governance of our oceans. Particular emphasis will be placed on the different narratives, logics and rationales involved in constructing oceanic pasts, the shaping of its present and the imaginaries of future ocean governance. The subject of governing oceanic systems and coastlines has arrived in the centre of European and global strategic and sustainability interests, exposing and addressing the high degree of policy fragmentation and the lack of cross-scalar approaches to tackle existing challenges. This book aims to contribute to these ongoing debates in academia and policy-making by offering a range of historical and contemporary case studies from Europe and beyond relating to ocean governance in the thematic fields of (a) land sea interaction; (b) area-based management; (c) seabed resource management; (d) nutrition security and food systems; (e) ocean, climate change and acidification; and (f) fisheries governance. Contributors are invited to submit a 250-500 word abstract by August 5th, 2019. The editors will then – based on the received abstracts – develop the structure of the textbook further and invite full texts of maximum 9000 words each to be submitted November 30th, 2019. At the current moment, the book is planned to be published with Mare Series of Springer (to be confirmed with series editors once the volume structure is put together).
