摘要

认识到海洋生态系统和依赖海洋生态系统的人们所面临的全球性挑战,全世界越来越多地采用 "蓝色经济 "方法来建立公平和可持续的海洋产业。研究表明,实现这些蓝色经济的能力在很大程度上取决于与社会和经济公平相关的有利治理条件,而不是可用的自然资源。然而,即使在世界上的国家和次区域内,这些有利条件也往往存在很大差异。必须解决这一问题,才能为共享海洋系统的地区发展与合作奠定必要的基础,但所需要的远远超出对科学知识、技术或基础设施的投资。事实上,在世界上大多数发展中(和一些发达)地区,要为蓝色经济创造条件并建立蓝色经济,就必须正视和纠正殖民地和后殖民时期系统性欠发达的历史。因此,我们进行了一项区域历史比较分析,以评估各国在殖民地和后殖民发展进程中的差异如何与不同水平的蓝色经济能力相对应。鉴于加勒比地区对海洋系统的深度依赖、当前蓝色经济有利条件的巨大差异以及长期的殖民开发历史,我们将重点放在加勒比地区。我们的结构分析强调了殖民和新殖民发展的历史力量如何长期阻碍该地区实现高水平的蓝色经济能力。我们的理由是,这些发现为赔偿计划提供了进一步的理由,而赔偿计划与全球南部的海洋可持续性和发展息息相关。

Colonialism and the Blue Economy: confronting historical legacies to enable equitable ocean development

Recognizing the global challenges faced by marine ecosystems and the people that depend on them, there is a growing worldwide uptake of the “Blue Economy” approach for establishing equitable and sustainable ocean industries. Research has shown that the capacity to achieve these Blue Economies is largely shaped by enabling governance conditions related to social and economic equity, more so than available natural resources. Yet there is often a very wide variation across such enabling conditions even within nations and subregions of the world. This must be addressed to build the foundations necessary for regional development and cooperation in shared ocean systems, but will require much beyond investments in scientific knowledge, technology, or infrastructure. Indeed, in most developing (and some developed) regions of the world, enabling conditions for and establishing a Blue Economy will require confronting and redressing colonial and postcolonial histories of systematic underdevelopment. Accordingly, we conduct a regional, historical comparative analysis to assess how country differences in colonial and post-colonial development processes correspond with varying levels of Blue Economy capacity. We focus on the Caribbean given its deep reliance on ocean systems, the wide variability in current enabling conditions for a Blue Economy, and its long history of colonial exploitation. Our structural analysis emphasizes how the historical forces of colonial and neocolonial development serve as long-standing obstacles to achieving high Blue Economy capacity in the region. We reason that these findings provide further justification for reparation programs, which possess relevance for ocean sustainability and development across the Global South.

The post Colonialism and the Blue Economy: confronting historical legacies to enable equitable ocean development first appeared on Ecology & Society.

期刊介绍: Ecology and Society is an electronic, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the rapid dissemination of current research. Manuscript submission, peer review, and publication are all handled on the Internet. Software developed for the journal automates all clerical steps during peer review, facilitates a double-blind peer review process, and allows authors and editors to follow the progress of peer review on the Internet. As articles are accepted, they are published in an "Issue in Progress." At four month intervals the Issue-in-Progress is declared a New Issue, and subscribers receive the Table of Contents of the issue via email. Our turn-around time (submission to publication) averages around 350 days. We encourage publication of special features. Special features are comprised of a set of manuscripts that address a single theme, and include an introductory and summary manuscript. The individual contributions are published in regular issues, and the special feature manuscripts are linked through a table of contents and announced on the journal''s main page. The journal seeks papers that are novel, integrative and written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience that includes an array of disciplines from the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities concerned with the relationship between society and the life-supporting ecosystems on which human wellbeing ultimately depends.
