Thesis title: Financing strategies and practices for nature conservation. A study of the marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Mediterranean basin
Supervisor: Fabian Muniesa
Adopting both Science and Technology Studies (STS) and political anthropology perspectives, I study the different financing mechanisms used to finance marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Mediterranean basin (public financing, environmental trust funds, self-financing mechanisms, etc.). My focus is on the conditions of emergence of each of these financing mechanisms and their impact on area management. The research is empirically based on a case study in Tunisia.
