Globalization And the World Ocean

Jacques offers a unique analysis of the connections between global marine and atmospheric conditions to global political phenomena. He shows how human survival is intricately linked to the sustainability of the world ocean, a singular connected body of regional oceans. Jacques suggests how we can synthesize and coordinate global ecological information to avoid current crises including declining global fisheries, coral reef losses, and climate change. His book will be a valuable resource for researchers and students in environmental studies, marine sciences, and globalization studies.

Peter Jacques is assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, where he teaches Global Environmental Politics, Sustainability, and Urban and Domestic Environmental Politics. He is co-author of Ocean Politics and Policy: A Reference Handbook, with Zachary Smith, and has published articles in several journals including Global Environmental Politics, the Social Science Journal, and the Radical Review of Political Economy.
