The pursuit of good regulatory design principles in International Fisheries law: What possibility of smarter international regulation?

摘要: There is a growing body of literature that explores the effectiveness different regulatory approaches and tools. This sometimes referred to as smart regulation, responsive risk-based regulation or instrument choice theory. Much this focused on articulating evaluating design principles it at local national regulation. According literature, generally accepted mix complementary techniques desirable these should be adapted specific contexts. It often asserted effective efficient. infrequent consideration how could applied issues level international law. Elements appear in corporate social responsibility. Smart implicit areas where ‘regulatory toolkits’ are advocated such Food Agriculture Organization United Nations (FAO) Code Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. Typically, involves combinations rights-based measures (private property rights market-based controls) with traditional ‘command control’ type rules, use both soft hard law instruments. More generally, development cross-cutting agendas, trade secure environmental goals, synonymous approaches. If succeed, then we need consider combinations. Drawing key principles, chapter considers extent which fisheries satisfies (including coherence, complementarity, efficiency, scalability). finds whilst many satisfied, hampered by range actors engaged activities, limited tools available regulators absence strong reflective adaptive governance structures. The latter particular present challenges because they limit possibilities change improvement. Of course, may simply matter perspective, if look ‘inside’ view cutting across domestic fora, more sophisticated exist. Here agenda likely strengthen interface between dimensions
