With the consequences of climate change and biodiversity loss
becoming more and more apparent, both the protection of water
resources and water-related ecosystems as well as protection from
water, that is flood protection policies, have become increasingly
important. This book explores the latest applications of network
analysis concepts and measures to the study and practice of water
governance. Given the holistic complexity of water governance, it
covers individual water governance aspects such as flood protection
and fisheries, as well as overarching concepts like integrated
water management and social-ecological interactions. The book
provides an overview of current water governance issues, network
analytic concepts as well as implications for practice. The main
body of the text is made up of eight case studies by world-leading
environmental governance scholars, each of which addresses one
water-related challenge by applying a variety of network
approaches. The first part of the book highlights network
dispersion and fragmentation, the second focuses on how such
fragmentation in networks can be overcome and the third deals with
specific roles of actors in networks. This collection is a key
resource for scholars and practitioners interested in water
governance all over the world. It provides readers with an overview
of the potential of network analytic concepts for research on
complex governance problems.
This edited volume compares seven countries in North America and
Europe on the highly topical issue of oil and gas development that
uses hydraulic fracturing or "fracking." The comparative analysis
is based on the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and guided by
two questions: First, in each country, what are current coalitions
and the related policy output? Second, based on the current
situation, what are the chances for future policy change? This book
is the first to use a social science approach to analyze hydraulic
fracturing debates and the first application of the ACF that is
deliberately comparative. The contributions in this book advance
our understanding about the formation of coalitions and development
of public policy in the context of different forms of government
and economically recoverable natural resources.
