- 1. Lisen Schultz and Simon West Stockholm Resilience Centre Adaptive governance Intro lecture module 10
- 2. • Team up 3 and 3 • Formulate one critical/important question you have about adaptive governance
- 3. Why adaptive governance? • The Anthropocene, planetary boundaries • Political shifts towards more networked forms of governance • Information revolution, nanotechnologies, biotechnologies Increased connectivity, scale and speed
- 4. The key question How to govern complex social-ecological systems (SES) in an era of rapid global change
- 5. What is governance? ”Steering”, ”the process of governing” From ”command and control” to collaboration, negotiation, governance beyond government Patterns of collaboration, instruments to guide repeated interactions and steering attempts
- 6. Different from management n. • The act, manner, or practice of managing; handling, supervision, or control: management of a crisis, management of factory workers • The person or persons who control or direct a business or other enterprise • Skill in managing; executive ability
- 7. Different from institutions • Institutions are the rules of the game • Governance implies collaboration patterns, steering and coordination at multiple levels • Institutions in governance tend to be clusters or complexes rather than simple sets of rules
- 8. Adaptive governance collective action innovation systems international regimes Bridging organizations innovation trust institutions transitions and transformations social networks Polycentric systems adaptation learning coping with crises
- 9. Adaptive governance • Analytical purpose • Multi-disciplinary approach • Normative assumptions • No quick-fix solutions
- 10. Learning goals • Define and describe key concepts related to adaptive governance, such as adaptive co- management, social networks, bridging organizations, polycentric governance • Define and describe the role of innovation and transformations in adaptive governance • Describe how these concepts are related to each other in the context of governance of dynamic social-ecological systems • Apply concepts related to adaptive governance at multiple levels, on a real-world case
- 11. How? • Lectures and readings (read before) • Short writing assignments • Discussion seminar • Case study analysis • Blog • Examination
- 13. Blog contribution Write blogpost: brief summary of lecture, definition of key concept/s, and short reflection within 48 hours after lecture, send via e-mail to Lisen.schultz@su.se and simon.west@su.se Writing of short comment to blogpost, directly on the blog (individual)
- 14. Schedule • Intro • Bridging organisations (lecture + assignment) • International institutions and regimes (lecture) • Innovation and transformations (assignment+lecture+exercise) • Case study (assignment, seminar) • Global adaptive governance – earth system complexity, planetary boundaries (lecture) • Global adaptive governance – marine futures (lecture) • Summing up • Exam
- 15. Blog posts • Intro • Bridging organisations (Karl, Sophie) • International institutions and regimes (Claudia, Noah) • Innovation and transformations (Kavita, Sara) • Case study (AM Patricia, Daniele, PM Rawaf, Tove) • Global adaptive governance – earth system complexity, PB (Hanna, Linnea) • Global adaptive governance – marine futures (Linn, Katharina) • Summing up • Exam
- 16. Questions?
- 17. Why does this matter? • Because governance is becoming increasingly complex, and provides more space for self- organization • Because we need to find better ways of living together on this planet Compare with Folke et al. 2005
- 18. Global changes in the political landscape • Decentralization • Public Private Partnerships • Non-governmental organizations • International agreements
- 19. Centralized decison-making Central policy-maker Decision- (e.g. Environmental ministry) making Regional/Local authorities Implementation and monitoring Local natural resource user Behavioural response
- 20. Decision-making in complex governance systems Central policy-maker Decision- (e.g. Environmental ministry) making Regional/Local authorities Implementation and monitoring Local natural resource user Behavioural response International agreements and norms Non-state actors Participation Collaboration, negotiation Implementation, partnerships Decentralization
- 21. National actors International actors Ecosystem Local actors Learning and collaboration Adaptive management, Adaptive co- management, Adaptive governance
- 22. Adaptive governance Extension of adaptive co-management • Not place-bound, but context/issue-specific • Can include, and explore, several place-bound attempts of ACM at the same time • Polycentric • Higher levels of organization – up to global • Explorative framework
- 23. What do we want AG to achieve? Dealing with ”The problem of fit” • Spatial (municipalities vs water catchment, local institutions vs global drivers, fisheries, land grab) • Temporal (e.g responding to signals of resource depletion, early warning signals) • Cascading dynamics (e.g. fish and ebola virus)
- 25. Common patterns (emergence of adaptive governance) • an awakening crisis led to framing of the human-nature relationship among key individuals and actors, • an umbrella concept mobilized knowledge and action across scales and sectors, and • an existing or new bridging organization made the adaptive governance approach possible
