Abstract
Resilience and adaptation in the governance of social-ecological systems
Highlights
The study of socialecological systems (SESs) was initiated by ecologists who became interested in the social dimensions of ecosystem management (Berkes and Folke 1998)
Governance of SESs focuses on enhancing the ability of the system to remain within the desired stability regime, or to create opportunities to move toward a desired stability regime
The study of SESs was initiated by ecologists who became interested in the social dimensions of ecosystem management (Berkes and Folke 1998)
Summary
The study of SESs was initiated by ecologists who became interested in the social dimensions of ecosystem management (Berkes and Folke 1998). In recent work the study of the commons is approached from an SES perspective where natural resources and social systems have equal representation and equal detailed analysis (Anderies et al 2004; Ostrom 2007, 2009). In this special issue a series of papers has been collected to further the frontier of the study of the governance of social-ecological systems.
