영문 초록

  The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the historical development of "global commons problems" and the solutions in the Pacific. The focus is on the question of how to deal with the issues of South Pacific tuna. Indeed, oceans cover the vast majority of the earth"s surface and yet until recently, we knew very little about them Opaque and mysterious, the common assumptions were that the sea had an infinite amount of resources and an almost unlimited capacity to absorb whatever impacts humankind could devise. This led to the long tradition of northern exploitation of the southern hemisphere"s natural resources. And once the North felt resource scarcity, it began arguing for bringing back the "original situation," defined by modern natural science. According to evolutionary ecology, however, nature changes and "naturalness" is a constant process of transformation rather than controlled stability. Therefore, the North"s claim based upon scientific rationality has no privileged position.
