Policy issue interdependency and the formation of collaborative networks

2020

Environmental problems often span a set of challenges that each may engage different policy actors across different policy domains. These challenges, or policy issues, nonetheless exhibit interdependencies that may constrain the ability of actors to work together towards joint solutions. Still, we have limited knowledge about whether and how policy issue interdependencies actually shape how actors collaborate. Using data derived from two venues for collaborative water governance in the Norrström basin, Sweden, we investigate whether and how policy issues and policy issue interdependencies influence actors' selection of collaborative partners. We test two alternative sets of propositions; one set assumes that partner selection is driven by actors' engagement in policy issues and their interdependencies, while the other set emphasises social positions and actor attributes. Our results show that in one venue, actors' choices of collaborative partner were associated with factors from both sets, but not with policy issue interdependencies specifically. In the other venue, only actor and relational attributes shaped social tie formation. These results suggest that how actors interact does not necessarily align with the policy issues and the policy issue interdependencies defined by the environmental problem they are to address. Our results provide an important step towards arriving at evidence‐based recommendations for more effective collaborative efforts in addressing complex environmental problems that no actor can address alone.

“…Recovery rarely occurs in the direction of a preexisting state, therefore, necessitating some consideration for regaining life functions as exhibited by one's experiences in evacuation shelters. Moreover, Barnes et al (2020) explained two types of adaptability: adaptation in the form of incremental adaptation (allowing existing system structures to absorb, accommodate, or embrace change) and transformation in the form of transformational adaptation (altering dominant relationships). Therefore, at the operational level, (community) resilience could be discussed from four viewpoints: stability (keeping the community's pivotal functions by reducing loss through mitigation, preparedness, and immediate response), recovery (recovering life functions), adaptability (changing existing practices and behaviors incrementally), and transformability (altering existing practices or behaviors that allow for system structure change).…”

The term resilience has become a buzzword with a multitude of definitions, and several studies have exerted efforts in conceptualizing it. For further academic progress, discussions on community resilience need to shift from conceptualization to operationalization. In this context, I aim to synthesize academic contributions and provide future perspectives of studies on community resilience approaches, focusing on societal systems. First, I demonstrate the general trend of community resilience research, which leads to a general analytical framework for these studies. Next, I present the results of a survey of influential studies based on this framework and discuss recent achievements in community resilience in relation to the following six elements: social, information, competence, economic, spatial, and natural. From the survey results, I suggest two perspectives: (1) the harmonization of gears for resilience and community resilience sub-elements, including equitable resilience, and (2) inactive resident pursuits of roles in community resilience. Finally, I show the potential contributions of regional science to this topic highlighting its strengths in interdisciplinary approaches based on spatial and temporal scales.

“…System dynamics modelling can also incorporate some socialecological process accuracy (Elsawah et al, 2017), as can Earth System and marine 'whole ecosystem' models (Donges et al, 2020;Fulton et al, 2011;Pongratz et al, 2018). Network modelling has recently been used to explore the ways in which individual and social characteristics affect responses to climate change (Barnes et al, 2020). A structured typology of social-ecological model types and the roles they can play in exploring system dynamics is provided by Schlüter, Müller, et al (2019), and can be related to more general existing frameworks for social-ecological systems modelling (Robinson et al, 2018) and analysis (e.g.…”

“…One notable alternative could be to represent only the most fundamental of processes, and allow all others to emerge from these. For example, it has been suggested that social system dynamics are ultimately reducible to individual cognition and social interaction, from which pressures of cultural selection and characteristics of diversity emerge, determining the extent and impacts of negative disturbances in social–ecological systems (Figure 1; Baggio et al., 2019; Barnes et al., 2020; Freeman et al., 2020; Richerson & Boyd, 2020). In this case, all other outcomes, including the processes we identify above (with the exception of interaction itself), can be seen as emergent phenomena.…”
