“…Our framework builds on those foundations. For our purposes, however, the shortcoming of these approaches is that they are primarily oriented toward theory-building and expert analysis in reference to fairly abstract ideals such as "polycentric institutions that are nested, quasi-autonomous units operating at multiples scales" (Olsson et al 2006) or a composite evaluation of "governability" for particular resource systems (Kooiman et al 2008). This makes them difficult to adapt for collaborative assessments and action planning with local stakeholders.…”

“…This includes the formal legal and institutional framework as well as the informal sets of norms, social networks, and power relationships that guide and constrain stakeholder interactions with one another and with the natural environment. To capture this context, approaches such as adaptive governance (Olsson et al 2006) and interactive governance (Kooiman et al 2008) take a broad perspective, comprising multiple stakeholders, not only government, and their interactions across system scales. Our framework builds on those foundations.…”

ABSTRACT. Aquatic agricultural systems in developing countries face increasing competition from multiple stakeholders over rights to access and use natural resources, land, water, wetlands, and fisheries, essential to rural livelihoods. A key implication is the need to strengthen governance to enable equitable decision making amidst competition that spans sectors and scales, building capacities for resilience, and for transformations in institutions that perpetuate poverty. In this paper we provide a simple framework to analyze the governance context for aquatic agricultural system development focused on three dimensions: stakeholder representation, distribution of power, and mechanisms of accountability. Case studies from Cambodia, Bangladesh, Malawi/Mozambique, and Solomon Islands illustrate the application of these concepts to fisheries and aquaculture livelihoods in the broader context of intersectoral and cross-scale governance interactions. Comparing these cases, we demonstrate how assessing governance dimensions yields practical insights into opportunities for transforming the institutions that constrain resilience in local livelihoods.

“…In the literature of political science, one can observe a broad discussion about the interactions governance (Rhodes, 1997;Pierre & Peters, 2000;Kooiman, 2003), and from the perspective of the actor it can be ordered as main categories: Collaborative and political (Kooiman, Bavinck, Chuenpagdee, Mahon & Pullin, 2008). Thus, at the structural level of the interactions three governance modes are identified as self-governance, hierarchical governance and co-governance (Kooiman, 2003).…”

Este artículo tiene como objetivo identificar las formas de gobernanza que están presentes en las relaciones interorganizacionales en el contexto de parques científicos y tecnológicos. Por lo tanto, el estudio presenta un análisis comparativo de la gobernanza de parques científicos y tecnológicos. Así, se utilizó el estudio de casos múltiples como una estrategia de investigación, incluyendo un parque en Brasil y otro en Portugal. Uno de los parques fue creado por el sector privado por la necesidad de las empresas en compartir recursos y buscar alternativas de crecimiento. El otro fue creado por el gobierno como consecuencia de las políticas públicas para el desarrollo económico y la generación de empleo y renta. Los resultados muestran que los casos estudiados se caracterizan por la organización administrativa, como la forma de gobernanza de las relaciones interorganizacionales. Sin embargo, la forma de gobernanza y los mecanismos formales e informales de gobernanza son las principales conclusiones. Hay otros elementos (e.g., el comportamiento de la gente) que pueden influir en las relaciones interorganizacionales en el contexto del parque científico y tecnológico. Por último, el artículo ofrece una discusión de las implicaciones teóricas y prácticas del estudio

“…According to interactive governance theory, governance takes place through interactions between the governing system and the system that is being governed through various modes of governance: hierarchical governance, co-governance and self-governance (Kooiman et al 2008). These are essentially heuristic categories that emphasize different types of governance interactions, defined as "the institutions and processes through which the system-to-be-governed and the governing system relate to one another" (Chuenpagdee and Jentoft 2013, 344).…”

Limits to the Governability of Transboundary Fisheries: Implications for Small-Scale Fishers in Northern Sri Lanka and Beyond

Transboundary fisheries are a worldwide phenomenon that has considerable impact on small-scale fisheries. This chapter explores governability problems of transboundary fisheries in connection with small-scale fishers' marginality. Insights are derived by studying the practice of transboundary fishing in the Palk Bay, South Asia, where a sizable Indian trawler fleet impedes Sri Lankan small-scale fishers from carrying out their occupation. By analyzing the features of the fisheries systems and the fragmented governance practices, this chapter raises six issues that challenge the overall system's governability: 1) mismatch between the scale of governance and the scale of the problem; 2) high level of institutional fragmentation with limited cross-linkages; 3) actors' strategic framing of the nature, causes and solution to the problem; 4) power imbalances between Sri Lankan and Indian fishers; 5) deep politicization that has linked fisheries issues to higher level ethnic and geopolitical conflicts; and 6) path dependency of the trawl sector. I conclude that while co-governance is in theory crucial for transboundary governance to be more responsive to the situation at hand, governability analysis explains why constructive collaborative practices are difficult, if not impossible, to create in practice in this case 2 .
