Abstract Globalization and modernization have driven drastic changes in communities dependent on natural resources. Yet the impacts on resources and local well-being vary widely, with positive outcomes often linked to ecological modernization theory and negative outcomes often linked to treadmill of production theory. We contribute to this literature with a qualitative case study of Bahamian fishing communities which underwent rapid modernization during the latter half of the 20th century. We interviewed 31 fishers on Andros Island, ranging from 49 to 90 years in age, about how they experienced modernization. Participants identified consequences of modernization consistent with treadmill of production theory, including economic system restructuring, introduction of new technologies, increased market demand for natural resources, environmental degradation, and a struggle to maintain quality of life. They identified international tourism, market demands for fish, and employment opportunities outside the island as primary drivers of change and expressed both positive and negative attitudes towards the consequences of modernization. Local fishers described modernization as incorporating elements of world systems theory and telecoupling, including 1) the economic expansion of the country's capital and most densely populated city, Nassau, coming at the environmental and economic expense of Andros, and 2) the introduction of diving as a key fishing method based on practices adapted from international tourists. Participant's accounts of modernization were not consistent with ecological modernization theory but may reflect some elements of this theory in the future in association with the rapid expansion of higher education opportunities on Bahamian “family islands.”

巴哈马安德罗斯岛手工捕鱼社区的现代化,作为生产的跑步机

摘要 全球化和现代化推动了依赖自然资源的社区发生了巨大变化。然而,对资源和当地福祉的影响千差万别,积极的结果往往与生态现代化理论相关,而消极的结果往往与生产理论的跑步机相关。我们通过对 20 世纪下半叶经历快速现代化的巴哈马渔业社区进行定性案例研究,为该文献做出贡献。我们采访了安德罗斯岛上的 31 位渔民,年龄从 49 岁到 90 岁不等,了解他们如何经历现代化。与会者确定了与生产理论相一致的现代化后果,包括经济体制重组、新技术的引进、对自然资源的市场需求增加、环境恶化,以及维持生活质量的斗争。他们将国际旅游、鱼类市场需求和岛外就业机会确定为变革的主要驱动力,并对现代化的后果表达了积极和消极的态度。当地渔民将现代化描述为结合世界系统理论和远程耦合的元素,包括 1) 该国首都和人口最稠密的城市拿骚的经济扩张,以牺牲安德罗斯的环境和经济为代价,以及 2) 引入潜水作为一种基于国际游客实践的主要捕鱼方法。参与者'
