Community-Based Collaboration: Bridging Socio-Ecological Research and Practice

by E. Franklin Dukes (Editor), Karen E. Firehock (Editor), Juliana E. Birkhoff (Editor)

The debate over the value of community-based environmental collaboration is one that dominates current discussions of the management of public lands and other resources. In Community-Based Bridging Socio-Ecological Research and Practice, the volume’s contributors offer an in-depth interdisciplinary exploration of what attracts people to this collaborative mode. The authors address the new institutional roles adopted by community-based collaborators and their interaction with existing governance institutions in order to achieve more holistic solutions to complex environmental challenges.
