Sparks, Jessica L. Decker.
An intersectionality-based analysis of high seas policy making stagnation and equity in United Nations negotiations [electronic resource] / Jessica L. Decker Sparks &Shannon M. Sliva. - pp. 260-278.
This paper used an intersectionality-based policy analysis to critically dissect systemic power structures within the UN that likely contributed to marine policy making’s stagnation. An empirical analysis of UN organ structure and composition in relation to a state’s gross domestic product found inequities in representation and leadership between large and small economies and elucidated how a state’s economic status influences its ability to participate in international marine policy processes. Without recognition of these power disparities, upcoming negotiations for a new high seas treaty could perpetuate the marginalization of low-income states disproportionately affected by exploitative marine activities’ impacts on human security.
