Abstract
This article explores the politics of transnational fishers' movements, setting out to understand why and how they contest and seek to influence the politics of global fisheries. It focuses on two movements representing small-scale fishers, the World Forum of Fisher Peoples and the World Forum of Fish Harvesters and Fish Workers, aiming to link the politics of such movements more directly with academic and political debates. The analysis is structured around three connected spheres: transnational movements engaging in the politics of global fisheries; contentious fisheries issues prioritized by the movements; and political spaces where movements participate.
