REGIONAL FISHERIES POLICY IN THE PACIFIC; A case study on the Treaty between Certain Pacific Islands States and the United States on Fisheries

This study considers the dynamics of the Treaty and associated processes. It encapsulates the complexities and linkages between, national interests, sustainable development and regional policy. In this regard the author argues that regional fisheries issues are not isolated; but all aspects of regionalism are important considerations to understanding how a comprehensive multilateral agreement as this would pan out in the future.
