گسترش دامنه سیاست های زیست محیطی در آمریکای شمالی: به سوی رویکردهای آبی ۲۰۱۷
Widening the Scope of Environmental Policies in North America: Towards Blue Approaches 2017

This edited volume provides a variety of insights into thecontext in which ocean and wetlands policy is placed at the sub-continentallevel.The governments of Mexico, Canada, and United States of America haverecognized the importance of conserving, protecting, and enhancing theenvironment in their territories. As a result, they have developed aninstitutional structure aimed at furthering environmental cooperation.However, marine environment has played a secondary role, characterizedby scientific cooperation that does not develop into regional policies. This project analyzes how ocean and wetlands preservation is omitted from the NorthAmerican Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, meaning thatcollaborative efforts under-perform or remain largely sidelined from mainstream issues.As contributors come from a mix of the social and natural sciences (politics, international relations, law studies, sociology, oceanology, and oceanography), this book presents diverse viewpoints on how to addresswetlands protection, deep ocean research collaboration, and the marine context of the Sustainable Development Goals.
