ADAPTIVE GOVERNANCE OF SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

Annual Review of Environment and Resources, Journal Year: 2005, Volume and Issue: 30(1), P. 441 - 473

Published: July 25, 2005

▪ Abstract We explore the social dimension that enables adaptive ecosystem-based management. The review concentrates on experiences of governance social-ecological systems during periods abrupt change (crisis) and investigates sources renewal reorganization. Such connects individuals, organizations, agencies, institutions at multiple organizational levels. Key persons provide leadership, trust, vision, meaning, they help transform management organizations toward a learning environment. Adaptive often self-organize as networks with teams actor groups draw various knowledge for development common understanding policies. emergence “bridging organizations” seem to lower costs collaboration conflict resolution, enabling legislation governmental policies can support self-organization while framing creativity comanagement efforts. A resilient system may make use crisis an opportunity into more desired state.

REDISCOVERY OF TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AS ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT

Ecological Applications, Journal Year: 2000, Volume and Issue: 10(5), P. 1251 - 1262

Published: Oct. 1, 2000

Indigenous groups offer alternative knowledge and perspectives based on their own locally developed practices of resource use. We surveyed the international literature to focus role Traditional Ecological Knowledge in monitoring, responding to, managing ecosystem processes functions, with special attention ecological resilience. Case studies revealed that there exists a diversity local or traditional for management. These include multiple species management, rotation, succession landscape patchiness other ways pulses surprises. Social mechanisms behind these number adaptations generation, accumulation, transmission knowledge; use institutions provide leaders/stewards rules social regulation; cultural internalization practices; development appropriate world views values. Some management systems were characterized by interpret respond feedbacks from environment guide direction had certain similarities adaptive its emphasis feedback learning, treatment uncertainty unpredictability intrinsic all ecosystems.

Shifting Paradigms for Sustainable Development: Implications for Management Theory and Research

Academy of Management Review, Journal Year: 1995, Volume and Issue: 20(4), P. 874 - 907

Modern management theory is constricted by a fractured epistemology. which separates humanity from nature and truth morality. Reintegration necessary if organizational science to support ecologically socially sustainable development. This article posits requisites of such development rejects the paradigms conventional technocentrism antithetical ecocentrism on grounds incongruence. A more fruitful integrative paradigm “sustaincentrism” then articulated, implications for are generated as sustainability, extended community, our Academy mattered.

Ecologically Sustainable Organizations: An Institutional Approach

Academy of Management Review, Journal Year: 1995, Volume and Issue: 20(4), P. 1015 - 1052

Published: Oct. 1, 1995

Our main objective in this article is to join the growing group of green organization theorists by demonstrating usefulness institutional theory as an approach ecologically sustainable organizations. Institutional helps understand how consensus built around meaning sustainability and concepts or practices associated with are developed diffused among We extend offering hypotheses four different areas: (a) incorporation values into organizational sustainability, (b) study institutions distinct elements within systems, (c) spheres, (d) construction paradigms that support sustainability. then offer possible modifications suggested extension a new area study. Among them consideration natural constraints on sense making paradigm construction, regional networks, recognition role individual actors. Finally, we discuss avenues for future research drawing currently conducting.
