“…DCG can be implemented when government has failed to deal with an issue satisfactorily; when government policy is deficient; when state-supported governance is limited or non-existent; or when government is not relevant to the task [50]. In this context, we need to amend slightly our initial definition of DCG.…”

“…As we have noted, the lack of international institutions of governance with influence supported by legislation works against institutionalisation of international DCG for climate change, poverty alleviation, and other sustainability issues. Moreover, as Chester and Moomaw observe, 'state sovereignty no longer constitutes the only pillar supporting "international world order"… [a fact that] holds particular relevance in regard to how we respond to the expanding number of global environmental threats' ( [50], p. 192). Cities' responses to global sustainability challenges cannot be entirely effective in isolation-they are buffeted by the workings of the global political economy, and must therefore find ways of connecting with global systems using DCG.…”

Sustainability issues involve complex interactions between social, economic, and environmental factors that are often viewed quite differently by disparate stakeholder groups. Issues of non-sustainability are wicked problems that have many, often obscure causes, and for which there is no single, straightforward solution. Furthermore, the concept of sustainability is itself contested. For example there are disputes over whether a strong or weak interpretation of sustainability should be adopted. In cities, as elsewhere, sustainability therefore requires discursive plurality and multiple sites of action. It is the thesis of this paper that effective problem solving, decision-making and enacting of a sustainability agenda require deliberative collaborative governance (DCG), a logical hybrid of the closely related fields of deliberative democracy and collaborative governance. We provide a provisional typology of different modes of deliberative collaborative governance, explaining each with a sustainability example, with a particular focus on DCG initiatives for planning in Western Australia. It is argued that the lens provided by such a typology can help us to understand the factors likely to promote better resolution of wicked problems and increased sustainability.

“…The increasing role of non-state actors in global governance, particularly in environmental and sustainability affairs since the 1990s, is widely recognized in the literature (Chester and Moomaw 2008, Arts 2006, Gemmill and Bamidele-Izu 2002, van Asselt 2014, Biermann, Mol, and Glasbergen 2007. This phenomenon, reflected in the 'shift from government to governance' or 'governance without government' (Rosenau and Czempiel 1992), is in part explained by the increasing economic power of the private sector 13 and a rise in highly skilled and influential NGOs (Biermann, Mol, and Glasbergen 2007) that have assumed different key roles such as being advocates of sustainability issues and suppliers of monitoring, innovation and services (Verkooijen and Hoogeveen 2010).…”

Most agriculture research is focused on the production side, in particular crop production and livestock, and less with the consumption side and nutrition needs. Global agriculture governance is characterized by the multitude of actors involved in this issue area, ranging from governments to intergovernmental organizations, farmer organizations, transnational agri-business corporations, research and civil society organizations. Within this group of actors, the private sector has demonstrated to have increasing voice and power in determining agricultural policies and the rules that govern them, including through the creation of (public-) private mechanisms (Clapp and Fuchs 2009). There are multiple norms, rules, etc. governing agriculture, including soft law agreements (voluntary, nonlegally binding) such as the Principles for Responsible Agricultural Investment that respect rights, livelihoods and resources (PRAI) (2009). Soft law agreements also include several declarations and statements by the different organizations, calling for actions, announcing commitments, or just creating awareness (e.g. Declaration of the World Summit on Food Security-2009 (FAO 2009a) or the G8 L'Aquila Joint Statement on Global Food Security (G8 2009)). As for hard law, several Multilateral Environmental Agreements' (MEAs) decisions or resolutions have an effect on agriculture, such as the agreement to reduce and phase out methyl bromide 8 under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, or those related to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements and decisions are also legally binding and have direct repercussions on agriculture. These include the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) and Trade Related Aspects of the Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (TRIPS). 1.2.2. Global forest governance (GFG) The role that forests play in terms of cultural values, livelihoods, climate change, protecting water sources and biodiversity, energy sources, etc., is key for many countries and the world as a whole (Agrawal, Chhatre, and Hardin 2008: 1462, FAO 2015, Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2005b). A large amount of literature has addressed Global Forest Governance. However, there is disagreement on the failure or success of GFG in generating commitments, action and results on the ground, which materialize in achieving sustainable forest management (SFM) and reducing deforestation and forest degradation at the national level (Arts and Babili 2013). Despite these differences, critics agree on two things: a multiplicity and diversity of actors are involved in GFG, and there are a wide array of norms, rules, laws, addressing forests. This makes GFG a very complex issue, which has resulted in a 12 promoting certification schemes and influencing consumer behaviour (Agrawal, Chhatre, and Hardin 2008). The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is one of them. FSC certifies that forests have been managed responsibly (FSC 2015b). International Financial Institutions (IFIs) have also been an important act...
