“…Ecological systems consist of the multiple interacting and dynamic ecological processes that condition the generation of natural resources (Vatn 2005). Resources are defined in relation to specific uses by actors, involving their valuation of the environment and their demand for ecosystem services (Gerber et al 2009). Actors are individuals or collective entities who pursue activities by using a set of means for specific intentions (Wiesmann et al 2011).…”

ABSTRACT. Recent advances in land system science and in institutional analysis provide complementary, but still largely disconnected perspectives on land use change, governance, and sustainability in social-ecological systems, which are interconnected across distance. In this paper we bring together the emerging concept of telecoupled land systems and the established concept of polycentric governance to support the analysis and the development of sustainable land governance in interconnected social-ecological systems. We operationalize the two concepts by analyzing networks of action situations in which interactions between proximate and distant actors as well as socioeconomic and ecological processes cause land use change and affect the sustainability of land systems. To illustrate this integrated approach empirically, we analyze a case of transnational biofuel investment in Sierra Leone. We identify the characteristics of, and activities in, networks of action situations that affect the sustainability of land systems related to this case. Integration of the two concepts of telecoupled land systems and polycentric governance enables analysts to identify interactions in polycentric governance systems (1) as drivers of telecoupled sustainability problems and (2) as transformative approaches to such problems. The method provides one way for linking place-based analysis of land change with process-based analysis of land governance.

Ensuite, par rapport à la littérature existante (Barraqué, 1993(Barraqué, , 2005Gerber et al, 2009), elle produit une information nouvelle en distinguant les différents dysfonctionnements des SHU en Europe (SHUE), et surtout en isolant leurs sources.

Cet article présente une analyse des déséquilibres à l’œuvre dans le secteur des eaux urbaines. Le processus de gouvernance influe significativement sur la dynamique du secteur, en particulier durant la phase de modernisation qu’il poursuit. Nous proposons alors une grille d’analyse rendant compte des interactions entre les composantes économique et institutionnelle au sein du secteur. Le système hydrique urbain (SHU) offre un aperçu élargi du secteur hydrique urbain et son application au cas des villes européennes aboutit à des résultats originaux. L’article expose le cadre analytique puis présente des résultats empiriques afférant à l’infrastructure et à la soutenabilité des systèmes hydriques urbains en Europe.

“…This was done by integrating the degree and type of cooperation to understand the likelihood of reaching desired long term outcomes through the application of economic institutions given their interaction with political institutions. This means not only understanding how agents respond to economic incentives, but also how states' decision making conditions and voluntary collective action develop and implement new management rules (or governance institutions) for environmental stewardship (see also Gerber et al 2009, Pacheco et al 2010, Gulbrandsen 2013, Kozenkow 2013. Three key theoretical insights emerge from the thesis that contribute to the development of NIE in the context of new regimes for trans-boundary resource management.…”

“…Previous literature on complex governance and regime effectiveness reflects the challenges of international agreement in relation to multiple goals and purposes because of diverse interests (Biermann et al 2009, Gerber et al 2009, Wangler et al 2012). This literature refers in large part to the interests of states in making relative improvements to an environmental problem.…”
