Environmental Resistance to Place-Based Collaboration in the U.S. West

Locating Communities in Natural Resource Management

“…Although individuals and groups interested might reside 'outside' geographically defined communities, they show openness to place-based collaborations (Hibbard & Madsen, 2003). Therefore, a challenge exists to engender such partnerships in rural areas where collaborative conservation can be seen as a threat to local property rights and a means by which outsiders impose restrictive controls (O'Neill, 2005).…”

Science synthesis to support socioecological resilience in the Sierra Nevada and southern Cascade Range

“…Even though commandand-control approaches commonly fail, the success of some decentralized collaborative networks has been associated with the incentive provided by having the threat of regulation as an alternative (Dasse 2002, Scholz andWang 2006). Having a regulatory backstop may help to allay concerns that local collaborative groups may compromise national-scale priorities (Bergmann andBliss 2004, Hibbard andMadsen 2003).…”

“…Place-based approaches to planning represent one means of incorporating these various place meanings (Hibbard and Madsen 2003), and they provide the path to consider "special places," along with their divergent meanings (Schroeder 2002).…”

Coal seam gas development and community conflict: a comparative study of community responses to coal seam gas development in Chinchilla and Tara, Queensland

“…First, the literature suggests that an intrinsic relationship exists between place-based groups and social movements, which is fundamentally important to fuelling and sustaining the social movement (e.g., Sklair, 1995;Dicken et al, 2001;Hibbard & Madsen, 2003). Similarly, the case of Tara subdivisions shows that the relationship between the anti-CSG groups and the broader anti-CSG movement was intimate.…”

“…Another approach led by different scholars illuminates the relationship between localised actions and how they provide strength to ensure that a social movement continues (Sklair, 1995;Dicken et al, 2001; see also Hibbard & Madsen, 2003;Bosco, 2001). Particularly in the context of the extractive industry and conflict, another important instrumental link may be noted here: a social movement remains challenged in maintaining the momentum of the conflict in the public realm.…”
