  1. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE AND THE GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM Craig K. Harris Department of Sociology Michigan State University

  2. GLOBALIZATION • Increased accumulation through • Flexibility of sourcing of inputs and products • Flexibility of marketing of products and outputs • Mobility of capital to sites of greatest profit • Avoiding progressive control by nation-state on processes of labor, production and marketing • Avoiding progressive taxation for liberal welfare programs

  3. GLOBALIZATION • Increased accumulation • Two counter tendencies • Progressive populist demand for state activity for public good (e.g., human health, biophysical environment) • Regressive elite demand for state activity to enhance accumulation (e.g., human health, natural resources)

  4. GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption

  5. GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased variety of processing • Drying

  6. GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased variety of processing • Drying, smoking, fermenting • Canning

  7. GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased variety of processing • Drying, smoking, fermenting • Canning • Freezing

  8. GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased variety of processing • Drying, smoking, fermenting • Canning • Freezing • Breading and battering

  9. GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased variety of processing • Drying, smoking, fermenting • Canning • Freezing • Breading and battering • Reformulating

  10. The artistry of Surimi now is beyond just the block of flash frozen minced fish, but it's the art and craft of food history and development to feed the human need.

  11. GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased diversity of processing • Increasing availability of fresh fish

  12. GLOBAL FISHERIES SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased diversity of processing • Increasing availability of fresh fish • Both frozen and fresh imply an effective cold chain

  13. GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased diversity of processing • Increasing availability of fresh fish • Increasing diversity of seafood species

  14. GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased diversity of processing • Increasing availability of fresh fish • Increasing diversity of seafood species • Large scale harvesting • Fleets

  15. GLOBAL FISHERIES SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased diversity of processing • Increasing availability of fresh fish • Increasing diversity of seafood species • Large scale harvesting • Fleets • Ships

  16. GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased diversity of processing • Increasing availability of fresh fish • Increasing diversity of seafood species • Large scale harvesting • Shift of production from harvesting to aquaculture

  17. Fish Production (in MT) FISHSTAT 2004

  18. GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Increased production and consumption • Increased variety of processing • Increasing availability of fresh fish • Increasing diversity of seafood species • Large scale harvesting • Shift of production from harvesting to aquaculture • Increasing international trade

  19. Fish Commodities - Export FISHSTAT 2004

  20. TROUBLE IN PARADISE • Continued exploitation of seafood stocks beyond sustainable yield

  21. TROUBLE IN PARADISE • Continued exploitation of seafood stocks beyond sustainable yield • Excess investment in production, transportation, and marketing capacity

  22. Table E.2 - Extent of overcapacity in the UK fleet segments of the Channel fishery (%)

  23. TROUBLE IN PARADISE • Continued exploitation of seafood stocks beyond sustainable yield • Excess investment in production, transportation, and marketing capacity • Negative impacts on non-target species (bycatch, habitat disruption, competition) • Dolphins • Turtles • Albatrosses • Sea lions

  24. TROUBLE IN PARADISE • Continued exploitation of seafood stocks beyond sustainable yield • Excess investment in production, transportation, and marketing capacity • Negative impacts on non-target species (bycatch, habitat disruption, competition) • Contamination of seafood

  25. TROUBLE IN PARADISE • Continued exploitation of seafood stocks beyond sustainable yield • Excess investment in production, transportation, and marketing capacity • Negative impacts on non-target species (bycatch) • Contamination of seafood • Competition with, and displacement of, domestic industry

  26. Methylmercury concentrations in canned tuna 479 samples: • 219 samples from Yess 1993 study • 115 samples from FDA surveillance (1992-1998) • 27 samples from FDA’s Total Diet Study (1990-1997) • 118 samples from the State of Florida (2000) Environmental Working Group

  27. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE • Can we see a transnational state with respect to the global seafood system

  28. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE • Can we see a transnational state with respect to the global seafood system • If so, what are its features

  29. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE • Can we see a transnational state with respect to the global seafood system • If so, what are its features • If so, what is the causal process that is producing it

  30. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE • Can we see a transnational state with respect to the global seafood system • If so, what are its features • If so, what is the causal process that is producing it • Is the transnational state in the seafood system a progressive or a regressive development

  31. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE AND THE GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Characteristics of the transnational state • William Friedland – “palimpsest” • William Robinson • Alexander Wendt – “issue specific”

  32. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE AND THE GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Functions of the transnational state • Foster accumulation of wealth

  33. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE AND THE GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Functions of the transnational state • Foster accumulation of wealth • Rationalization of system

  34. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE AND THE GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Functions of the transnational state • Foster accumulation of wealth • Rationalization of system • Maintain legitimacy of social system

  35. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE AND THE GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Functions of the transnational state • Foster accumulation of wealth • Rationalization of system • Maintain legitimacy of social system • Regulation of markets and labor

  36. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE AND THE GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Functions of the transnational state • Foster accumulation of wealth • Rationalization of system • Maintain legitimacy of social system • Regulation of markets and labor • Protect society against negative effects of competition

  37. THE TRANSNATIONAL STATE AND THE GLOBAL SEAFOOD SYSTEM • Both facilitate the mobility of capital, and guide the directions of its flows • World Bank
