Natural Resource Governance in Asia: From Collective Action to Resilience Thinking
The growing concerns over resource depletion have attracted the attention of researchers throughout the Asian countries to respond to the prevailing and emerging challenges by promoting polycentric governance, collective actions, maintaining social connectivity, advance system thinking, maintaining inter and intra-generational equity, and providing a clear understanding of the multi-methods and multilevel analysis used in assessing the dynamics of resource systems. This volume discusses the existing and emerging issues in the governance and management of natural resources in Asia. The volume highlights and attempts to provide a solution to the most pressing issues of resource management, particularly those related to the coupled human and natural systems using Ostrom’s design principles and socio-ecological system framework.
