“Maritime Blindness”: Characteristics, Consequences and Alternatives. Germany, Brazil and the International Maritime Organization Compared: DOI: http://dx.doi.org.10.18847/1.17.2

Abstract

This text ist based on three important points that will give way to the analysis of “Sea Blindness”, its characteristics and consequences from the perspective of the actions undertaken by Germany, Brazil and the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The main focus of this research is to find out how these three actors, through different resources, try to contribute to reducing their own sea blindness (in the case of the two countries) and that of developing countries (in the case of the IMO). We want to determine its characteristics, means and objectives.
