Contested Norms in Inter-National Encounters: the 'Turbot War' as a Prelude to Fairer Fisheries Governance
This article is about contested norms in inter-national encounters in global fisheries governance. It illustrates how norms work by reconstructing the trajectory of the 1995 ‘Turbot War’ as a series of inter-national encounters among diverse sets of Canadian and European stakeholders.
