“…The analytical framework is a modified version of the IoS framework [36,37], which takes the following four determinants of institutional change into account: (1) the properties of transactions; (2) the characteristics of existing institutions; (3) the characteristics of actors; and (4) the governance structures. Due to space limitations, the following outline of the IoS framework is not exhaustive.…”

“…Transactions have been identified as the "unit of activity" [38] (p. 651) and are often considered the starting point of institutional analysis [36]. In this article, I explore a policy implementation transaction during which "a policy is put into action and practice" [39] (p. 461).…”

Abstract:The article looks into lowest-level policy implementers' (street-level bureaucrats') role in donor-initiated natural resource governance reforms. The article employs an institutional analysis framework with a specific policy implementation focus. A multiple case study reviews a resource user information campaign during the early phase of a community-based pasture management reform in Kyrgyzstan. It finds implementation rule simplification by policy implementers at the expense of full resource user involvement as a result of an insufficient contextual fit of the formal information rules. The results emphasize the need of well-designed implementation rules in order to ensure full and equitable resource user involvement in community-based natural resource management (CBNRM).

Institutional Change, Sustainability and the Sea

et al. 2013

Currently, a substantial institutional change is under way for marine and coastal resources. Sustainability plays a major role therein. At the time of writing, roughly 2.3% of the marine and coastal territory has been declared a Marine Protected Area (MPA). The Convention of Biological Diversity set a target to protect 10% of the global marine environment by 2020. This move toward enclosure signifies a substantial shift away from mainly open access to at least de jure marine protected areas. What drives institutional change towards MPAs; and what role does sustainability play in this change in governance? In reflecting on these questions, the paper's aim is to begin a dialogue on how the social-ecological system (SES) analytical framework developed by Elinor Ostrom and her collaborators engages differentially with marine and coastal systems. How institutional change takes place depends on the characteristics of the resources considered and the drivers of change for the particular resource. In order to characterize the marine and coastal realm we use the social-ecological system (SES) framework of Elinor Ostrom. Douglas North's theory of institutional change is used to classify the change observed. The marine realm has ambiguous system boundaries and often high resource mobility. Uncertainties about system properties and change are much higher than for terrestrial OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2013, 5 5374 systems. Interdependencies among different ecosystems are high, necessitating multi-level governance. Institutional change in this sector occurs under strong institutional path dependencies and competing ideologies. All these features make it particularly relevant to think about institutional change, sustainability and the current process of MPA expansion.

The Institutions of Sustainability (IoS) framework is a coherent framework that takes into account the interdependencies between ecological and social systems. It has been applied in previous studies and proven to be a useful tool for the analysis of issues in agricultural economics and resource management centred on human-nature interaction. However, previous contributions have not made explicit how to create the link between the analytical framework and practical empirical research, i.e. how to operationalize the IoS framework, how to 'unpack' action arenas and how to derive a step by step analysis of the institutional arrangements. This paper explains the application of this framework using the example of agricultural soil degradation and soil conservation policy. It draws on experience from 10 case studies across Europe where the common framework and methods were applied. I discuss several challenges that occurred when the framework was utilized to guide case study research. The paper aims to assist scholars from different disciplines in the application of the IoS framework to undertake a systematic institutional analysis.
