ABSTRACT
This book shows how to apply the principles and tools of network economics, such as variational inequalities and complementarity problems (Nagurney, 1999; Facchinei and Pang, 2003), to study large exploited natural systems, especially the marine systems, at a global, continental or regional level. These systems are exposed to both climate change and economic globalization; a phenomenon that has been defined by Leichenko and O’Brien (2008) as “double exposure”1. Many of them are endangered in the present context.
