Dr Darren Calley, "Flag of
convenience fishing seriously undermines efforts to
protect the marine environment. To counter this threat,
Market Denial and International Fisheries Regulation
rests on the logic of the most basic tenet of economics:
if no market exists for a product then producers will
cease to produce. Denying market access to the flag of
convenience fishing fleet should significantly reduce
instances of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU)
fishing. In areas beyond national jurisdiction not only
is market denial the most effective means of undermining
the IUU fleet, it is, for most - practical purposes, the only way to do so.
To what extent, however, do the laws of the sea and
international trade allow groups of States to close
their markets to non-compliant fishing vessels?"
Market Denial and International Fisheries Regulation

Drawing on state-of-the-art literature and groundbreaking case studies and legal
analysis, Dr Marsden presents a vital insight into Internet regulation in
Brussels, London and Washington, revealing the extent to which states, firms and

regulatory bargain: co-regulation.
