Environmental policy domains are increasingly adopting strategies
of cooperation over those of conflict. Decision-making processes
founded upon collaboration and public participation are receiving
more attention and favor and, in turn, engendering multistakeholder
environmental partnerships. In his thoughtful analysis, Eric C.
Poncelet seeks to illuminate the mechanics of these partnerships,
especially at the level of social interaction. Drawing on
ethnographic research performed with four case study partnerships
in the European Union and the United States, Poncelet focuses on
the diverging ways that stakeholders think, talk, and
conventionally act with regard to the environmental issues at
stake. Also explored are the roles of environmental partnerships as
sites of personal transformation, where participants_and their
perspectives, conceptualizations, and expectations_can and do
change. Partnering for the Environment concludes by examining the
broader implications of multistakeholder partnerships for the
future of environmental decision-making and suggests ways by which
these partnerships may be more effectively used and managed.
