Australia as a Middle Power: Challenging the Narrative of Developed/Developing States in International Negotiations Surrounding Marine Genetic Resources / Beringen, Ethan; Liu, Nengye   Journal Article
Liu, Nengye Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract To date, marine genetic resources (MGR) have proven to be the most controversial aspect of the package deal structure of the ongoing negotiations of a legally binding instrument for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). This has led to a proliferation of scholarly work characterizing the debate on MGR along developed and developing state lines. By applying middle power international relations theory to the Australian delegation’s conduct in MGR negotiations, this article aims to challenge the developed/developing state narrative. As such, it advocates a more nuanced approach to understanding state motivation in multilateral treaty negotiations pertaining especially to complex issues such as MGR.

Ensuring sustainable oceans / Narula , Kapil   Article
Narula , Kapil Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Ensuring sustainable oceans and seas is vital for the well-being of the planet. However, oceans – which are the largest ecosystems – are degrading rapidly, which is a cause of anxiety. The paper presents some of the growing concerns about the health of the oceans and analyses three main drivers of ocean degradation, viz. overexploitation for resources, unintended impacts of anthropogenic activities and weak governance structures. Some of the ongoing work on adopting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the oceans, and by the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) working group for governance of the “high seas”, are then discussed. The paper suggests a way ahead and proposes that India should play a larger role in the ongoing discussions. The paper concludes that there is a need for international cooperation and global support, and ensuring sustainable oceans is the key to sustainable development.
