Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The MOU was designed to provide the level of analysis required to inform the debate on the rationalization and restructuring initiatives necessary to ensure the long-term stability of the province's fishing industry. [...] This report outlines the conclusions that have been reached by the various working groups and the MOU Steering Committee, and also discusses the types of initiatives that may be required to bring a measure of stability to the industry in the short term, while also helping the industry position itself for long-term success in the global seafood marketplace. [...] To help in the process of refining the understanding of the scale and scope of these potential chal- lenges, the parties to the MOU and the MOU Steering Committee established a number of work- ing groups, each with a specific mandate to examine the current situation in the areas of harvesting, processing and seafood sales and marketing. [...] The highest required levels of rationalization are concentrated, geographically, on the northeast and west coasts of Newfoundland and in southern Labrador, while the lowest levels of rationalization are required in the Avalon and the southern coastal regions of Newfoundland. [...] The results of the subsequent analysis conducted by the PWG indicate that a rationalization rate of 30% would allow the processing sector to achieve gross margins in the 15% range, which is similar to the performance of the Canadian Seafood Producing Sector (excluding NL).
Download or read book Interactive Governance for Small Scale Fisheries written by Svein Jentoft and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-30 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on more than 30 case studies from around the world, this book offers a multitude of examples for improving the governance of small-scale fisheries. Contributors from some 36 countries argue that reform, transformation and innovation are vital to achieving sustainable small-scale fisheries - especially for mitigating the threats and vulnerabilities of global change. For this to happen, governing systems must be context-specific and the governability of small-scale fisheries properly assessed. The volume corresponds well with the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries adopted in 2014, spearheaded by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). These affirm the importance of small-scale fisheries for food security, nutrition, livelihoods, rural development and poverty reduction. The book arises from the project Too Big To Ignore: Global Partnership for Small-Scale Fisheries Research (TBTI). "A nuanced, diverse, vibrant and local-specific collection of essays – just as the small-scale fisheries around the world - dealt with by this versatile array of authors. Following on the heels of the recently adopted FAO Small-Scale Fisheries Guidelines, here is an erudite compendium which I heartily recommend to policy makers, academics and activists who wish to come to terms with the complex issue of governance of this important field of human activity." John Kurien - Founding Member of the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF), and Former Professor, Centre for Development Studies, Trivandrum, India "Likely to become a classic in its field, this book is about small-scale fisheries and interactive governance – governance which is negotiated, deliberated upon, and communicated among stakeholders who often share governing responsibilities. The authors show that interactive governance is not just a normative theory but a phenomenon that can be studied empirically, here with 34 case studies from as many countries around the world, north and south, east and west. Such "force of example" enables the editors to put together well-developed arguments and sometimes surprising conclusions about the way ahead. A must-read for managers, practitioners, stakeholders, and students!" Fikret Berkes - University of Manitoba, Canada, and author of Coasts for People
Download or read book World Small scale Fisheries written by Ratana Chuenpagdee and published by Eburon Uitgeverij B.V.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of fisheries is not lost in the global policy arena. What is often overlooked in the general discourse, however, is the significant difference between small-and large-scale fisheries. Major rethinking about all aspects of small-scale fisheries is required, including their contribution to catches, employment, livelihood, food security and conservation. This book is a collection of essays about the diverse, complex and dynamic contexts that characterize small-scale fisheries around the world. The essays highlight the strengths, capacity, motivation and contributions associated with this fishing sector. They remind us that solutions and opportunities for the viability and sustainability of small-scale fisheries can be found, once the issues are understood from a holistic perspective and possible options, including inventive governance arrangements, are fully explored. The authors are scientists and practitioners who work in small-scale fisheries in various parts of the world, many of whom participated at the first World Small-Scale Fisheries Congress (WSFC), held in Bangkok in October 2010, and are members of the global research network for the future of small-scale fisheries, Too Big To Ignore. The editor, Ratana Chuenpagdee, the initiator of the WSFC, is Canada Research Chair in Natural Resource Sustainability and Community Development at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.

Download or read book The Sutherland Inquiry written by Stewart R. Sutherland and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sutherland Inquiry, (HCP 62, session 2008-09, ISBN 9780102958393), is an independent inquiry remitted by the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator (Ofqual) and the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, into the delivery of the National Curriculum tests in 2008. In July 2008, 1.2 million pupils heard that their National Curriculum test results would be delayed. The test delivery service represented a failure in customer delivery service, to the pupils, schools and also the markers upon whom the National Curriculum testing regime relies. The primary responsibility must therefore rest with the American organisation, ETS Global BV (ETS), which won the public contract to deliver the tests and failed its customers. This report examines how this organisation secured the contract, what its plans were, and why its systems and process as a whole were not properly tested. The report will also describe how ETS's systems failed during the test delivery process. There was also a failure on the part of the Government's Non-Departmental Public Body, the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority to deliver its remit. The report also sets out the procurement process that QCA used to select its delivery supplier, ETS, and how it managed the contract. The report sets out a number of recommendations on how test delivery can improve in future years, and has set out a number of key priorities, including: that the delivery process of the National Curriculum tests should be modernised and improved, in consultation with the marking community, including piloting online marking; that whatever process is used should be thoroughly piloted and project managed to ensure schools and pupils get their results on time; that the customer service provided to markers must be vastly improved to ensure that they are properly supported and are able to access up-to-date information.
Download or read book Measuring International Authority written by Liesbet Hooghe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third of five ambitious volumes theorizing the structure of governance above and below the central state. This book is written for those interested in the character, causes, and consequences of governance within the state. This book sets out a measure of authority for seventy-six international organizations (IOs) from 1950, or the time of their establishment, to 2010 which can allow researchers to test expectations about the character, sources, and consequences of international governance. The international organizations considered are regional (e.g. the EU, Andean Community, NAFTA), cross-regional (e.g. Commonwealth of Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation), and global (e.g. the UN, World Bank, WTO). Firstly, the book introduces carefully constructed estimates for the scope and depth of authority exercised by international governments. The estimates are unique in their comparative scope, their specificity, and time span. Secondly, it describes describe broad trends in IO authority by comparing delegation and pooling, over time, across IOs, and across decision areas. Thirdly, it presents the evidence gathered by the authors to estimate international authority by carefully discussing forty-seven international organizations, and showing how their bodies are composed, what decisions each body makes, and how they make decisions. Transformations in Governance is a major new academic book series from Oxford University Press. It is designed to accommodate the impressive growth of research in comparative politics, international relations, public policy, federalism, environmental and urban studies concerned with the dispersion of authority from central states up to supranational institutions, down to subnational governments, and side-ways to public-private networks. It brings together work that significantly advances our understanding of the organization, causes, and consequences of multilevel and complex governance. The series is selective, containing annually a small number of books of exceptionally high quality by leading and emerging scholars. The series targets mainly single-authored or co-authored work, but it is pluralistic in terms of disciplinary specialization, research design, method, and geographical scope. Case studies as well as comparative studies, historical as well as contemporary studies, and studies with a national, regional, or international focus are all central to its aims. Authors use qualitative, quantitative, formal modeling, or mixed methods. A trade mark of the books is that they combine scholarly rigour with readable prose and an attractive production style. The series is edited by Liesbet Hooghe and Gary Marks of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Walter Mattli of the University of Oxford.

Book excerpt: How could a small country in the middle of Europe, surrounded by much bigger countries and economic giants like Germany and France and in direct competition with North American and Asian rivals, develop world-class, cutting-edge financial markets? Swiss Finance answers this question, separating myth from reality, by explaining how Switzerland managed dramatic pressures brought to bear on its financial markets during the past two decades, perhaps none of them so great as the: · Competitive challenges caused by changes in Switzerland's banking secrecy laws and practices, · Shifting tide of new wealth generation toward Asia (e.g., China, Singapore, and South Korea), · Burdensome federal stamp and withholding taxes, and · Digitalization of the financial services industry, including cybersecurity, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, central bank digital currencies, the FinTech revolution, and DLT applications. Swiss Finance thoroughly analyzes Swiss financial markets’ successes and challenges. It covers critical topics for practitioners and academics to fully understand this unique development in world financial markets and private wealth administration.
