Next, low governability is often the result of problems related to boundaries and scale at national and international levels. In some instances, small-scale fisheries are located in areas where major conflicts, including armed conflicts, are present, which results in restrictions on the fisheries. Thus, issues of boundary and scale are pertinent in small-scale fisheries governance where governability challenges extend the fisheries sector into areas where small-scale fisheries governing systems have no reach.

Crises often lead to the questioning of the quality and the capacity of the existing governing order and modes. In other words, it is the governability of the prevalent system itself that is under scrutiny. While these crises tend to make reform urgent and legitimate, governance reform may in itself trigger further governability challenges, which illustrate the inherent “wickedness” of such reform. These challenges are illustrated in Part VII: Governance in transition – reforming institutions with case studies from Cambodia, Sierra Leone, the Eastern Caribbean, and a number of countries in Latin America.
