TY - JOUR AB - <p>Social scientists in Atlantic Canada developed an incisive political economy of the region’s fisheries in the 1970s and 1980s and forged a sharp critique of Canadian fisheries policies. Meanwhile, fisheries scientists generated a series of stock assessments which substantially overestimated cod populations. After the collapse of the stocks in 1992, a number of reflective postmortems have addressed the role of the social and natural sciences in this resource failure. The present paper will attempt to construct a “political ecology” of the crisis from this corpus, one which does not, a priori, privilege industrial capitalism over cod ecology.</p> AU - Thomas McGuire DA - 1997/12// DO - 10.2458/v4i1.21345 IS - 1 VL - 4 PB - University of Arizona Libraries PY - 1997 TI - The Last Northern Cod T2 - Journal of Political Ecology UR - http://journals.librarypublishing.arizona.edu/jpe/article/id/1570/ ER -
