The growth of collaborative approaches to governance has resulted in increasingly complex policy and management landscapes, where actors are presented with ever‐increasing numbers decision‐making venues they can participate collaborate with. Given that face constraints on their capacity manage actor venue relationships such polycentric systems, we assume the marginal benefit yet another relationship should begin diminish at some level engagement. Furthermore, hypothesize limitations not...
The acceleration of changes in global water resource systems is exacerbating the ability governance institutions to adapt, particularly developing world regions.We highlight one key challenges resilience environmental governancecoordinating processes within and across multiple interacting geographic levels-and investigate structures local, regional, multilevel networks using empirical data from Central America.We examined hypotheses network structure function descriptive statistics...

Global industries are typically dominated by a few disproportionately large and influential transnational corporations, or keystone actors. While concentration of economic production is not new phenomenon, in an increasingly interconnected globalized world, the scale impacts actors on diverse social-ecological systems continues to grow. In this article, we investigate how global clothing industry engage collaboration with variety other organizations address nine interrelated biophysical...
Action toward strengthened disaster risk reduction (DRR) ideally builds from evidence-based policymaking to inform decisions and priorities. This is a guiding principle for the Sendai Framework Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR), which outlines priorities action reduce risk. However, some of these practical guidelines conceal oversimplified or unsubstantiated claims assumptions, what we refer as 'truisms', which, if not properly addressed, may jeopardize long-term goal risks. Thus far, much DRR...
Research on water resource conflicts needs to be better aligned with practitioner approaches resources development, chiefly integrated management (IWRM). This paper bridges the gap between research and practice through a novel application of social–ecological systems framework set 10 conflict cases from an IWRM initiative in rural Central America. The empirical are found primarily result socio-political variables, particularly low levels trust social capital, peacebuilding is suggested as...
The global hydrological cycle is characterized by complex interdependencies and self-regulating feedbacks that keep water in an ever-evolving state of flux at local, regional, levels. Increasingly, the scale human impacts Anthropocene altering dynamics this cycle, which presents additional challenges for governance. "Earth system law" provides important approach addressing gaps governance arise from mismatch between dispersed regulatory architecture across institutions geographic regions. In...

Bridging organizations facilitate a range of governance processes, including cooperation and social learning, are theorized to be key component robust systems. In this article, we use node removal simulations test structural hypotheses robustness in regional water network Central America. We investigate the response measures supporting core processes targeted bridging other actors, which compare random centrality-based simulations. The results indicate removing has greater impact on than any...
Our study examined age-related differences on a new memory test assessing for “who,” “when,” and “where,” associations among these elements. Participants were required to remember sequence of pictures different faces paired with places. Older adults remembered significantly fewer correct face–place pairs in the compared young adults. Correlation analyses standardized neuropsychological tests provide preliminary evidence construct validity. results offer insight into changes ability between...
Under the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), energy infrastructure projects that are permitted by federal agencies require preparation and publication of an environmental impact assessment. However, fifty years after passage NEPA, agencies' compliance behaviors, how these behaviors might shape risks associated with infrastructure, remain largely unexplored. Here, we consider assessment documents from forty-six largest natural gas pipeline mega-projects address landslide risks....
Large-scale fisheries are important social-ecological systems that increasingly being threatened by global climate change.Adaptive capacity is key for moving onto resilient pathways, however, implementing policies to improve adaptive challenging given the many diverse stakeholders involved in fisheries.Previous research suggests social networks integral because connectivity can enable, or constrain, knowledge and information sharing.We examine network of communication among Basque tropical...
