There are two bodies of literature dealing with regime compliance. One explains non-compliance with economic incentives, the other with political factors such as regime legitimacy. Both bodies are present in the project, but the theoretical aim is to develop the politically oriented literature. A major shortcoming in this body of literature is its lack of straightforward explanations of compliance. Our project will theoretically specify how procedural and distributional aspects of legitimacy may impact appropriators' trust and compliance. The procedural aspects we focus on are: (1) Appropriators' assessments of how they are perceived as a group; (2) Their assessment of whether their perspectives and knowledge are taken into account in the regime. Finally, on the distributive aspect we focus on their assessment of whether the burden of limitations of fishery is fairly distributed among European states. The study is carried out in two steps. First the theoretical notions are tested within the context of the Swedish centralized regime. A survey (to all crucial parties), interviews (primarily with fishermen) and analyses of political documents are key methods in this step. The second step is to evaluate the potential of large-scale co-management projects in the context of the European Regional Advisory Committees (RAC). Interviews and observation are crucial methods in this step.
