Managing natural resources sustainably is a complex task that
demands the involvement of many different stakeholders. Network
arrangements are increasingly used to try and achieve such
sustainable management. This book assesses the practice of such
networks using original research into case studies of landscape,
habitat and water management from England, Norway, Sweden, Spain
and Zimbabwe. Informed by institutionalist theory, the case studies
explore the role of social capital and institutional capacity in
successful networking. They demonstrate the importance of policy
champions and of developing a common problem framework, often based
on a common knowledge base. Norms of mutuality and reciprocity
together with trust are shown to play a major role in implementing
jointly developed strategies for managing natural resources. While
highlighting the potential of networks, the research also
identifies the limitations of such arrangements, suggesting a
continuing need for national frameworks to provide financial
incentives and regulate local action. This original and up-to-date
research will appeal to scholars as well as undergraduates,
graduates and practitioners interested in geography, environmental
studies, planning studies and environmental politics.
