Institutional Analysis and Ecosystem-Based Management: The Institutional Analysis and Development Framework

摘要

Scholars, government practitioners, and environmentalists are increasingly supportive of collaborative, ecosystem-based approaches to natural resoruce management. However, few researchers have focused their attention on examining the important adminstrative and institutional challenges surrounding ecosystem-based management. This paper describes how the institutional analysis and development (IAD) framework can be used to better understand the institutional arrangements used tio implement ecosystem-based manageemtn programs.
