INTERACTIVE GOVERNANCE FOR FISHERIES FISHGOVNET
Thematic network FISHGOVFOOD 2001-2004 • Funded by EU Research/INCODEV (ICA4-CT-2001-10038) • Coordinated by Centre for Maritime Research (MARE) • Now continued as FISHGOVNET

GOALS FISHGOVFOOD/FISHGOVNET • Develop a holistic governance perspective • Applicable to fisheries • For academic and policymaking purposes • With the aim to strengthen existing governance practices • In South and North • Makes use of academic work Jan Kooiman on interactive governance
SCOPE: • Fisheries (capture & aquaculture; inland and marine) • South and North • Fish chain • Assumption: governance is more than management; governors are more than government
OUTPUTS: • Fish for Life – Interactive Governance for Fisheries (Amsterdam University Press, 2005) • Fisheries Governance – A Guide to Better Practice(Eburon Publishers, 2005)
II. CHALLENGES & CONCERNS
Need for a governance system that better matches the nature of the system-to-be-governed
Theoretical tools: • ‘Orders’ of governance • 1st order – problem-solving • 2nd order – institution-building • 3rd order – values and principles • ‘Styles’ of governance
1st Order of governance: • What managers generally do • Problem-solving • Opportunity-creation • Basic principle: Effectiveness
2nd Order of governance: • Building governing institutions • Basic principle: Legitimacy
3rd or meta-order of governance: • Guiding governance with principles and values • Basic principle: Moral responsibility
Strengthen governance by: • Principles > softening hard choices • Inclusion > adds value • Adaptation > learning to cope !! Not new! Builds upon existing instruments
Highlighting Principles • Procedural • Basic • Benefits of discussion and agreement: • Shift from management to governance • Provide structure to governance • Help negotiate hard choices • Facilitate genuine partnership
Inclusiveness & Partnership • Benefits: • Increases knowledge • Better problem definition & implementation capacity • More legitimacy • Increased effectiveness. • How to proceed: • Stakeholder analysis • Capacity building • Communication and partnership building
Learning systems • Learning from experience • Learning from surroundings • Benefits: • Uncertainty/unpredictability of fish chain necessitates frequent feedback • Enhances flexibility • Profit from experiences of others • Increases effectiveness and efficiency
Interactive governance: • presents a framework & a way forward • is not a cookbook • makes use of what is available and being done • aims to strengthen existing governance.
