- W2783442541 abstract "Over the past two decades whaling has come under enormous criticism from a largenumber of animal rights and environmental organisations who campaigned to stopcommercial whaling. Chapter 1 outlines the rise of this protest movement and describeswhat occurred after the International Whaling Commission moratorium was introducedand how animal rights and environmental organisations organised in an attempt to stopFaroese whaling through an international boycott of Faroese fish and fish products.These organisations claimed: the hunt was unsustainable; there was no economic need;whaling was sport with the killing little more than fun; and that a subsistence andmodern economy could not co-exist in one society.Given this conflict this thesis examines the development, practice and performance ofthe grindadrap (the Faroese common property resource institution for the utilisation ofthe North Atlantic Long-Finned Pilot Whale - Globicephala melas) by answering thefollowing research questions.· What is the nature of Faroese history, society, economy and environmentalmanagement of whales through the concepts of political economy and commonproperty resources?· Is there a common property resource institution for utilising whales in theFaroes? And, if so, how does it operate? And· Does this common property resource institution reflect essential designprinciples, identified in anthropological and common property literature as beingessential criteria for sustaining both the resource and the common propertyresource institution over time?Because the research questions are about human social interaction with the environmentin the Faroes, Chapter 2 outlines the research location, the resource and the researchmethods. The research methods enable the complexities of, and the relationshipsbetween, history, culture and environment on local institutions to be understood. Suchresearch methods have allowed the investigation to retain the holistic and meaningfulcharacteristics of real life events.Chapter 3 outlines the theoretical framework of political economy and its related worldsystems theory and common property resources. These will assist with understandingFaroese whaling within a wider political, economic and social framework. This chapteralso introduces a number of design principles identified in anthropological and commonproperty literature. Design principles inform us of institutional performance andevidence of them are considered essential criteria for sustaining both the commonproperty resource institution and the resource on which it is based.Chapter 4 provides an historical overview of the political economy of the Faroes wherethe nature of Faroese history, society, economy and environmental management ofwhales is examined and evidence of the common property resource institution outlined.Chapter 5 provides the ‘microview’ of the grindadrap to determine how the institutionoperates in practice at the beginning of the 21st century and presents evidence of thedesign principles in operation within the performance of the grindadrap.Chapter 6 outlines action that the Faroese took to further strengthen the grindadrap byestablishing a resource users’ association to represent and advocate on behalf of Faroesewhalers and how the Faroese Government established a regional marine managementorganisation in which they could nest the local level institution of the grindadrap.The data outlined in this chapter provide evidence of a complex social phenomenon inthe form of a robust, stable, efficient and resilient common property resource institutionthat has maintained itself and the resource on which it is based for over 1000 years.Chapter 7 summarises this evidence and the conclusions show that whaling is deeplyrooted in and reflective of Faroese society and the historic struggle of the people tosurvive and maintain their own independence and decision-making over local resources.Application of the design principles to the institution of the grindadrap demonstratesthat it is an example of community-based management at its best. One where the usersthemselves are provided with the opportunity and responsibility to manage their ownresources; define their needs, goals, and aspirations; and to make decisions affectingtheir well-being. The Faroese exhibit a high level of capability, responsibility andaccountability in the management of their common property resource. The grindadrapis evolutionary, participatory and locale-specific and considers the technical, ecological,socioeconomic and environmental issues impinging upon the geographically isolatedcommunity." @default.
