南海渔业合作:来自地中海渔业合作治理的启示

Cooperative Fisheries in the South China Sea:Enlightenment from the Cooperative Fisheries Management in the Mediterranean Sea

随着"南海行为准则"框架文本的磋商进入快车道,南海沿岸国的海洋合作被注入了新的动力。本文以渔业合作为切入点,通过梳理和审视半个世纪以来地中海渔业合作实践所形成的地区特色、法理构架以及问题与挑战,分析和总结其治理经验对南海渔业合作的借鉴意义。南海沿岸国在渔业以及其他领域的合作难免面临障碍和挑战,其合作机制构建也是一个发展的过程。本文试图为南海沿岸国合作机制的构建和未来发展提供政策思路和参考。

With the Code of Conduct framework scheduled to be concluded in a few months,maritime cooperation among littoral countries in the South China Sea becomes a priority on the regional agenda.Zooming in on the issue of fisheries cooperation,the paper explores the rich experience of cooperative fisheries management in the Mediterranean Sea accumulated over the past half century and analyzes the unique features,framework and legal foundations,development,and challenges and responses of fisheries management in this area.The paper argues that the development of marine cooperation including fisheries cooperation in the South China Sea is a long-term project in which littoral countries need to prepare to face challenges.By looking into the detail of fisheries cooperation practices in the Mediterranean Sea,the paper attempts to offer some insights and policy recommendations for decision-makers to consider when establishing concrete mechanisms of maritime cooperation in the South China Sea.
