Maritime Governance and Policy-Making : The Need for Process Rather than Form
The evidence for systemic failure in the governance of the maritime sector
is clear from the widespread inability of many shipping policies to address the
problems of environmental, security, safety and economic concerns central
to the sector. The causes of this failure in governance and policy-making
stem to a large extent from the inexorable spread of globalisation which has
accelerated in recent decades and exacerbate the inadequacies of the shipping
industry. In particular the substantially changed role of the nation-state as a
maritime authority and policy-maker has generated friction between shipping
as a truly globalised industry and the nationally defined legislative and
governance authorities
This paper examines the role of process in policy-making in the maritime
sector and how issues of flexibility, movement, change, and the increasing
speed of these changes can be accommodated in a new governance framework
that takes account of the changes that come with globalisation.
