This article explores marine spatial planning (msp) as it is being developed in New Zealand. It breaks down the global concept of msp into six core principles and evaluates the extent to which New Zealand implements these principles within its ocean governance regime. The article concludes with brief recommendations for developing msp in New Zealand in the future.

This chapter deals with the law regulating business vehicles in Indonesia. The principal focus of the chapter is companies (including publicly listed companies, foreign investment, and shari’a companies) but it also covers partnerships, cooperatives, and state-owned enterprises, as well as the different regulations that apply to each. It explains the rules governing shares and capital, and directors and commissioners, as well shareholders’ rights, including in relation to general meetings. The rules for mergers and acquisitions are covered, as are corporate audit and reporting requirements. The chapter then summarizes the corporate governance regime applied in Indonesia through a mix of legislative provisions, codes of conduct, and other rules, including corporate social responsibility obligations. It also explains Indonesia’s corporate crime regime.

We are currently in what might be termed a “third phase” of ocean enclosures around the world. This phase has involved an unprecedented intensity of map-making that supports an emerging regime of ocean governance where resources are geocoded, multiple and disparate marine uses are weighed against each other, spatial tradeoffs are made, and exclusive rights to spaces and resources are established. The discourse and practice of marine spatial planning inform the contours of this emerging regime. This paper examines the infrastructure of marine spatial planning via two ocean data portals recently created to support marine spatial planning on the East Coast of the United States. Applying theories of ontological politics, critical cartography, and a critical conceptualization of “care,” we examine portal performances in order to link their organization and imaging practices with the ideological and ontological work these infrastructures do, particularly in relation to environmental and human community actors. We further examine how ocean ontologies may be made durable through portal use and repetition, but also how such performances can “slip,” thereby creating openings for enacting marine spatial planning differently. Our analysis reveals how portal infrastructures assemble, edit, and visualize data, and how it matters to the success of particular performances of marine spatial planning.

AbstractThe determination of spatial ambit of the coastal State jurisdiction is fundamental for ocean governance and the same applies to the Arctic Ocean. In this regard, a question arises how it is possible to delimit marine spaces where the jurisdiction of two or more coastal States overlaps. Without rules on maritime delimitation in marine spaces where the jurisdiction of coastal States overlaps, the legal uses of these spaces cannot be enjoyed effectively. In this sense, maritime delimitation is of paramount importance in the Arctic Ocean governance. Thus, this study will examine Arctic maritime delimitations by comparing them to the case law concerning maritime delimitation. In so doing, this study seeks to clarify features of Arctic maritime delimitations.
