摘要

自2000年代以来,几内亚湾地区的海上安全威胁日益受到国际关注。在许多国家,非法、未报告和无管制捕鱼就是这样一个问题,它对环境、粮食和国家安全产生负面影响,并与更广泛的海上犯罪有联系。本文以喀麦隆为重点,认为在几内亚湾海上安全治理变化的更广泛背景下,渔业部门已经实现了证券化。这篇文章探讨了喀麦隆渔业部门证券化的过程和影响。本文利用文献资料、直接观察以及对政府官员和民间社会组织(cso)参与者的深入访谈,阐述了渔业部门是如何通过一系列语言、制度和结构机制实现证券化的。随着在监测、控制和监视渔业活动方面增加部署军事力量,体制和结构机制高度军事化。文章的结论是,这些变化随后削弱了非军事国家和民间社会行动者在渔业治理中的作用和能力,并破坏了他们在目前在喀麦隆运作的更广泛的海上安全架构内的合作努力中的作用。

Maritime security and the securitisation of fisheries in the Gulf of Guinea: experiences from Cameroon
ABSTRACT Since the 2000s, maritime security threats in the Gulf of Guinea region have been of growing international concern. In many countries, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing is one such problem with negative impacts on environmental, food and national security and links with wider maritime crime. Focussing on Cameroon, this article argues that there has been a securitisation of the fisheries sector within the broader context of changes in maritime security governance in the Gulf of Guinea. The article examines the process and implications of the securitisation of Cameroon’s fisheries sector. Using documents, direct observations, and in-depth interviews with state agents and actors of civil society organisations (CSOs), the article illustrates how the fisheries sector was securitised through a range of linguistic, institutional, and structural mechanisms. The institutional and structural mechanisms were highly militarised with the increased deployment of military forces in monitoring, control and surveillance of fishery activities. These changes, the article concludes, subsequently diminished the agency and capacity of non-military state and civil society actors in fisheries governance and undermines their role in cooperative efforts within the broader maritime security architecture that now operates in Cameroon.
