Abstract Effective use of spatial management in the pelagic realm presents special challenges due to high fish and fisher mobility, limited knowledge and significant governance challenges. The tropical Indian Ocean provides an ideal case study for testing our ability to apply existing data sources to assessing impacts of spatial management on tuna fisheries because of several recent controversial spatial closures. We review the scientific underpinnings of pelagic MPA effects, spatio-temporal patterns of Indian Ocean tuna catch, bycatch and fish movements, and the consequences of these for the efficacy of spatial management for Indian Ocean tropical tuna fisheries. The tropical Indian Ocean is characterized by strong environmental fluctuations, regular seasonal variability in catch, large observed tuna displacement distances, relatively uniform catch-per-unit-effort and bycatch rates over space, and high fisher mobility, all of which suggest significant variability and movement in tropical tuna fisheries that are simply not well adapted to static spatial closures. One possible exception to this overall conclusion would be a large time/area closure east of Somalia. If closed for a significant fraction of the year it could reduce purse-seine bycatch and juvenile tuna catch. Dynamic closures following fish migratory patterns are possible, but more focused information on fish movements will be needed for effective implementation. Fortunately, several recent improvements in conventional fishery management and reporting will likely enhance our ability to evaluate spatial and non-spatial management options in the near future, particularly as pertaining to bycatch species.

<p>Penggunaan rumpon laut-dalam telah mengubah taktik dan strategi perikanan pukat cincin pelagis kecil yang beroperasi di perairan dangkal untuk bergeser pada perikanan tuna neritik tropis. Rumponisasi perikanan pukat cincin yang dirancang untuk meningkatkan produktivitas telah menjadi masalah serius pada perikanan neritik tuna. Hal ini terjadi karena tertangkapnya ikan berukuran kecil dalam jumlah yang dominan sehingga dalam jangka panjang akan berpotensi konflik dengan perikanan lainnya. Para ilmuwan yang tergabung dalam pengelolaan perikanan regional merekomendasikan bahwa pengembangan terkendali terhadap penggunaan rumpon di daerah asuhan juvenile tuna tropis. Pengendalian dalam jangka panjang dapat meminimalkan ancaman bagi kelangsungan hidup kelompok jenis tuna. Hal ini terkait dengan pentingnya memperbesar peluang masuknya sediaan kelompok jenis ini pada tingkat yang layak untuk dimanfaatkan. Di Indonesia, pilihan kebijakan perikanan tangkap baik melalui peralihan sasaran kelompok spesies maupun diversifikasi usaha penangkapan akan selalu bertumpu pada pertimbangan sosial. Bagaimanapun juga, proses mengubah pemahaman nelayan nelalui pengendalian jumlah dan teknologi kapal penangkap ikan serta penutupan sementara daerah penangkapan yang akan melalui proses panjang harus tetap dijalankan untuk mencegah runtuhnya perikanan yang saat ini sedang berjalan.</p><p>The use of Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) has radically changing the tactic and strategy shallow waters small pelagic purse seiner into high seas tropical neritics tuna fisheries. Applying FADs on purse seine fishery which initiated to increase its productivity became a serious problem to neritics<br />tuna fishery. This indicated by the negative impact on neritics and tropical tuna populations due to large number of small size of tunas being caught and uncertain of number and of FADS position in the high seas. In the long run it will generate a potential conflict to other existing fisheries. The member scientists of regional fisheries management organization (RFMO) recommends that the development of the use of FADs, especially in the area which dominated of juvenile of tropical tuna, should be strongly regulated. FADs management through control system should be applied to minimize impact on recruitment process that associated with the importance of long term availability of its fisheries. Management option through shifting target species and diversification of the fishing activities in<br />Indonesia would always be rely on social dimension. Nevertheles, reorientation on fishers understanding on controllable number of fishing vessels and its technological creeps should strongly be implemented to avoid collapse their existing fisheries.</p>

The Impact

What are the electoral consequences of global market integration? Although recent discussions of politics and markets have much to say on globalization’s implications for policy outcomes, the impact of market integration on representative democracy has received scant attention. This article addresses this omission. We extend the globalization literature to develop two competing hypotheses regarding the influence of open economies on electoral accountability. Predictions are tested using a new data set covering elections from 75 countries over 27 years. Results support a government constraint hypothesis: Exposure to the world economy weakens connections between economic performance and support for political incumbents. By redirecting concerns from the policy implications of globalization and toward its electoral consequences, findings highlight the influence of voter perceptions and of vote-seeking politicians in the politics of globalization.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the trade performance, revealed comparative advantage and trade specialisation indices of Indian pharmaceutical in the post-modified Indian Patent Act. Design/methodology/approach – The main data sources for this paper are United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, PROWESS of Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, Government of India reports and Reserve Bank of India databases. Revealed comparative advantage index (RCAI) and trade specialisation coefficient (TSC) have been calculated in the study. Findings – India is ranked third in regard of TCS, far behind Ireland and Israel. While Ireland has moved up the value chain faster after 1995, Israel has moved up swiftly after 2000 through global production network and supply chain. The Indian pharmaceutical industry, on the other hand, has largely capitalised on its low-cost production of generic drugs and a large domestic market. The RCAI also supports the results of TSC. India is positioned at 11th place, far behind Ireland, which stands tall at the top with distantly followed by Israel, Switzerland, Belgium, the UK, etc. Practical implications – The study shows the policy implications for future sustainable development of the industry as the new IPR regime has given opportunities as well as threats to both domestic pharmaceutical companies as well as the multinational corporations. The Indian pharmaceutical industry can be a good learning experience for other developing countries hopeful to enter the global market for generic drugs. Originality/value – There are no major studies providing detailed analyses of India’s comparative advantage vis-à-vis other leading exporters of pharmaceutical products in the world. This study endeavours to fill this gap. It also attempts to capture recent trends in exports and imports during the global recession period.

Priority Action

Significant roles of the fishery in the Indonesia’s archipelagic waters/IAW (FMAs 713, 714 and 715), with proportion of around 60% came from the IAW, and a strong residential behavior for skipjack (SKJ) and yellowfin tuna (YFT) encourage Indonesia to develop harvest strategies for the tropical tuna in the IAW. This is a priority action of the National Tuna Management Plan (NTMP) for tropical and neritic tuna. Fisheries operating in the IAW are mainly small scale commercial vessels. A specific harvest strategy framework that appropriate with the fishery characteristics has been developed. This paper describes the process of harvest strategy (HS) development for the tropical tuna in the Indonesia’s archipelagic waters (FMAs 713, 714 and 715). The HS is developed scientific works (including data collection, analysis/modelling and series technical and consultative stakeholder workshops as well as expert consultancies. Four technical workshops and seven stakeholder workshops have been done between 2015 and 2017. An interim HS (consisted of management objective, limit reference point, monitoring, analysis, harvest control rule and management measure) has been determined and agreed. Continues collaboration and commitment from related stakeholders including Government, fishers, fishing association, NGOs by adopting co-mangement and participatory approach in implementing the agreed harvest strategy, through data collection and sustain supports.The time series of catch and effort data, and size data could be used to monitor the fishery, stok status and its performance.In addition, involvement of relevant international tuna experts through expert consultancies are integrated process with the technical and stakeholder workshops. This HS development process is still on-going and can be refined, as HS development is a cycle process.

The purpose of this chapter is to identify the key factors that explain the decision of Chinese small and medium sized enterprises' (CSMEs) investment into the North East of England. The authors conducted 23 semi-structured interviews with key decision makers of Chinese SMEs that have business operations in the North East of England. It has been found that there are four major categories of factors that drive Chinese SMEs' investment into the North East of England: 1) resource-based factors; 2) home and host institutional factors; 3) network factors; and 4) international entrepreneurial factors. The findings have policy implications for both the governments of the UK and China, as well as managerial implications for future Chinese investors. This chapter provides fresh explanation of Chinese SMEs' investment into a developed economy.
