Governing conservation tourism partnerships in Kenya

Abstract

Highlights • Compares how two conservation tourism partnerships in Kenya are governed • Provides a theoretical framework for understanding dynamic tourism partnerships • Analyzes the internal and external congruency of conservation tourism partnerships • Argues that metagovernance can ensure effective and democratic partnership outcomes • Discusses how non-state actors can also take on metagovernance roles

Self-organizing processes in urban green commons. The case of the Angachilla wetland, Valdivia-Chile

“…Following the coding methodology from Lamers et al (2014), we assigned the subsequent categories to the interviews for referencing purposes: C = Claro de Luna residents, N = residents of other neighborhoods, U = University Students. Added to that, numbers from 1 to 18 were assigned to each of the interview records.…”

Marine communities : governing oil & gas activities and cruise tourism in the Arctic and the Caribbean

“…A common challenge that these arrangements face is that their longer term stability depends on the congruency of both their internal organisation and their embeddedness in external state regulations and other nonstate governance arrangements (e.g. Arts and Goverde, 2006;Haase et al, 2009;Lamers et al, 2014;Van Tatenhove, 2017). This chapter contributes to this debate by arguing that the internal and external congruencies of collective selfgovernance for mobile activities such as cruise tourism increasingly relies on ICT as a (re)source for steering toward sustainable cruise tourism development.…”

“…Currently, there is insufficient knowledge available about the cultural and environmental history of Svalbard because of fragmented research efforts. Cruise tourism can contribute to insights on its disturbance to wildlife and ecosystems and how they adapt to the presence of cruise tourism as well as insights on its contribution to nature conservation (Lamers et al, 2014).…”

“…Collective self-governance depends on the congruency of internal and contextual factors, including the interplay with other instruments or agencies through co-management (Carlsson and Berkes, 2005;Lamers et al, 2014;Ostrom, 2005;Young, 2002). This chapter wants to emphasise how the use of information enables or constrains internal and external relationships for collective self-governance.…”

“…Collective self-governance in cruise tourism accompanies a general trend toward networked governance between state, market and civil society (Arts and Van Tatenhove, 2006;Kooiman, 2003;Rhodes, 1996), based on participation and collective action of user communities and collaboration between state and nonstate actors (see also Bramwell and Sharman, 1999;Conley and Moote, 2003;Lamers, Van der Duim, Van Wijk, Nthiga, and Visseren-Hamakers, 2014;Nelson and Agrawal, 2008). A common challenge that these arrangements face is that their longer term stability depends on the congruency of both their internal organisation and their embeddedness in external state regulations and other nonstate governance arrangements (e.g.…”
