Abstract

The rapid expansion of aquaculture has positioned sustainable aquaculture governance as a critical component of global environmental governance, particularly in addressing food security, economic development, and marine ecosystem protection. However, the implementation of sustainability principles in developing countries often produces uneven outcomes due to complex interactions between international norms, domestic institutions, and local political-economic conditions. This study aims to examine how global sustainable aquaculture norms are translated, adapted, and contested within Bangladesh’s shrimp aquaculture governance system. This research employed a qualitative case study approach using document analysis of peer-reviewed articles, policy documents, and reports from international organizations. The analytical framework integrates Acharya’s concept of Norm Localization with Political Ecology to explain the relationship between global governance agendas and local implementation processes. The findings indicate that sustainable aquaculture governance in Bangladesh has not failed solely because of institutional limitations or weak policy enforcement, but because international sustainability norms undergo selective adaptation within domestic political and economic structures. The results demonstrate that sustainability initiatives often prioritize export competitiveness and market compliance while generating unequal impacts among coastal communities, particularly small-scale producers. This study concludes that effective sustainable aquaculture governance requires a more inclusive approach that integrates environmental objectives with social justice, local participation, and equitable resource management. The findings contribute to broader discussions on environmental governance in the Global South.

Abstract

South Korea has experienced significant demographic transformation due to increasing labor migration, international marriages, and the emergence of multicultural families, challenging the long-standing ideology of hanminjok, which defines Korean national identity through ethnic homogeneity. This transformation raises important questions regarding how migration, belonging, and national identity are represented and negotiated within contemporary Korean society. This study aimed to examine how Kim Ryeoryeong’s novel Wandeuki (2008) represents migration experiences, multicultural identities, and the changing meanings of Korean national belonging within the context of South Korea’s evolving social landscape. Employing a qualitative textual analysis approach, this study analyzed the novel through the perspectives of the sociology of literature, Stuart Hall’s theory of representation, and Homi K. Bhabha’s concept of hybridity. The findings revealed that Wandeuki functions as a cultural archive that captures the tensions between ethnic nationalism and multicultural realities. The analysis demonstrated that migrant figures in the novel represent various dimensions of migration experiences, including labor precarity, marriage migration, and mixed-heritage identities. Furthermore, the study showed that legal citizenship does not necessarily guarantee social acceptance, as cultural recognition remains influenced by ethnicity, language, and broader social perceptions. In conclusion, Wandeuki remains relevant as a literary text that reflects South Korea’s ongoing negotiation of national identity beyond ethnic homogeneity and highlights the need for broader understandings of belonging within an increasingly multicultural society.
