Marine Protected Areas

Environmental Studies 217. 

Peter Mackelworth 

Considers the development of protected policy from the historic principle of “fortress” conservation, to the modern paradigm of “inclusive” collaborative management in nature conservation. Investigates the application of common pool resource theory and its applicability to the “new” protected area paradigm. Although the course draws on a wide range of geographical literature, focus is on the Adriatic Sea and the dynamics between the “western world” as portrayed by the EU and the western Balkans.
