Ecosystem cross‐sector collaboration: conceptualizing an adaptive approach to sustainability governance
从理论上探讨跨部门协作与生态系统管理的关系，提出适应性治理、制度同构和集体行动等命题，以解决生态系统管理中的空间和时间问题。
Abstract This paper explores the theoretical underpinnings of collaboration and ecosystem management in order to identify the relationships and processes involved in implementing ecosystem management programs through cross‐sector collaboration. Ecosystem management requires a highly adaptive and resilient social–ecological governance approach, which addresses spatiality and temporality issues. In order to explore possible implementation issues with ecosystem management, propositions are developed dealing with adaptive governance, institutional isomorphism and collective action. The paper concludes with a discussion of the theoretic underpinnings involved in implementing ecosystem management through cross‐sector collaborations.
