CHACON, Christian; MANTILLA, Silvia  e  ROMERO, Raúl Román. Possible Joint Management of the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve in the Colombian-Nicaraguan Maritime Border. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2018, vol.13, n.2, pp.39-71. ISSN 1909-3063.  https://doi.org/10.18359/ries.3286.

The article outlines a proposal for cross-border integration in the maritime boundary between Colombia and Nicaragua based on the joint management of the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve. Ostrom's Theory of Common-Pool Resource and Regime Theory are used as a framework to address conflicts over resources in litigation and territorial indeterminacy scenarios. The institutional framework of UNESCO's Cross-Border Biosphere Reserves is also discussed, along with some developing global experiences. Finally, the social and environmental value of the Seaflower Reserve and its cross-border nature is characterized from a multidisciplinary perspective to prove that conflict and indeterminacy in the area jeopardize its normal development and protection; therefore, local actors play a fundamental role in joint management initiatives led by the nations involved.
