Ce que dit l'éditeur

The Ocean as a Global System

Economics and Governance of Fisheries and Energy Resources

This book gathers together contributions from the Symposium « The Ocean : Green Shipping and Sustainable Energy », held in Paris on 28-29 April 2011. The aim of the conference was to address critical issues regarding the ocean, considered successively as a global ecosystem, as a global energy system and as a global regulation system. The first part of the book is concerned with the current state and the future of fisheries. The second part deals with energy-related maritime activities, while the third offers a global perspective on these issues.

The Finance and Sustainable Development Chair is a network of researchers who have worked together since 2007. This project is the result of a collaboration, under the aegis of the Fondation Institut Europlace de Finance and sponsored by EDF and Crédit Agricole CIB, between Université Paris-Dauphine and the Ecole Polytechnique. These partners have combined their intellectual and material sources to create a high-level, multi-disciplinary scientific program around the general theme of finance and sustainable development.
