Transcript of Lecture 2. Adaptive governance and bridging organisations
Adaptive governance and bridging organisations– case studies from local to global scales
Lisen Schultz, Stockholm Resilience Centre, [email protected]
Adaptive governance• Real-world phenomenon (state and non-state
actors at multiple levels collaborate to deal with social-ecological issues)
• Analytical framework (studying the interplay between actors, networks, organisations, institutions)
• Prescriptive (suggested as a way to deal with complex social-ecological issues)

Definition of adaptive governance”Adaptive governance refers to flexible and learning-based collaborations and decision-making processes involving both state and non-state actors with the aim to adaptively negotiate and coordinate management of SES” (Schultz et al. 2015, PNAS)Involves (according to Folke et al. 2005):– Building knowledge of ecosystem dynamics– Feeding knowledge into adaptive management practices– Supporting multi-level governance systems and
institutions– Dealing with change, disturbance and uncertainty

Scope and organisation
• awakening crisis • reframing of the human–nature relation (key
individuals)• umbrella concepts (knowledge, networks,
institutions)• bridging organization connecting sectors and scales
Common pattern of emergence
• Kristianstads Vattenrike: restoration of wetlands and sandy grasslands, enhanced access to recreation and education
• Great Barrier Reef: increase of non-take areas (5%33%) abundance and size of fish increased, decrease of coral-eating starfish outbreaks
• Southern Ocean: increased quota for licenced fisheries, reduced mortalities of seabirds
Clear effects on natural capital (ecosystem services)
Respond to new challenges• KV: brownification of water, decline in certain bird
populations • GBR: rising seawater temperatures, ocean
acidification, water pollution from terrestrial runoff, dredging, port development
• SO: to establish a protected area is a politically contentious issue
Key features of AG: Illuminating contrastsKV vs Natura 2000: Connecting regional policies to local engagement is key
GBR vs Maine lobster fisheries: Seeing the whole ecosystem with multiple ecosystem services and beneficiaries is key for responding
SO vs EU fishery policies: Connecting formal and informal institutions, actors and networks for compliance is key
Definition of bridging organization (Crona and Parker 2012)• Organisation that link diverse actors or groups
through a strategic bridging process• More formalized (own personel, resources) than
informal social networks • Broader than boundary organisations
10
Bridging organizations (Schultz 2009)
• Connect vertically as well as horizontally – link networks and institutions
• Generate social-ecological knowledge and support learning
• Facilitate and protect collaboration – mobilize actors and resources, build trust, resolve conflicts, align interests
11
Bridging organizations, adaptive governance, networks• Bridging organisations (or individuals performing
bridging functions) are crucial for successful governance (Berkes 2009)
• Adaptive governance brings different types of networks together (stewardship networks, governance networks), coordinated by bridging organisations (Schultz et al. 2007, Hahn 2011)
Strategies of bridging organizations (Kristianstads Vattenrike)• Systems view: ecosystem management is connected
to social and economic development• Flexible organisation: small core team + networks
tailored to each project• Strategic collaboration: build on and encourage
local knowledge and local engagement • Begin small scale, demonstrating good examples
13
Strategies of BOs (KV continued)• Invest in face-to-face communication• Facilitate learning about natural values (outdoor
museum, web site, meetings etc) • Formalize the initially volontary commitments (eg.
through becoming a Biosphere Reserve, and through contracts with land-owners)
14
Strategies of bridging organisations (Crona and Parker 2012)• Provide a politically neutral space • Produces boundary objects to align interests• Negotiate power relations
15
• Collaboration across scales
• Networks tailored to each project
• Shared vision about Kristianstads Vattenrike
