"Collaborative natural resource management institutions enable
agents with diverse interests to come together to solve complex problems.
These actors must overcome a series of collective action problems to create,
maintain, and evolve these institutions. In addition to the challenge of
heterogeneous actors, these commons social-ecological systems often face
internal and external threats or disturbances. The institutional arrangements
may be effective with problems that are internal to a social-ecological system
ones that they are designed to handle, but how do these arrangements cope
with external disturbances, especially ones caused by large-scale political
and economic decisions, events, and processes. Using ethnographic and
archival data we conduct an institutional analysis outlining the existing and
emerging collaboratives, the important actors, and ongoing efforts to cope
with the five major challenges identified by rangeland actors. We trace the
evolution of institutions on the western range with a focus on their ability to
cope with challenges that are largely within the system biodiversity, fire,
and water management, and those that are driven externally by actors who
are largely absent border militarization and violence and exurbanization." |
