Cross-Sector Partnerships for Social–Ecological Resilience and Transformation
提出一个嵌套在跨尺度自适应循环中的泛archy框架,分析跨部门伙伴关系如何同时追求韧性与转型,并探讨意义建构、商议和干预等实践应对跨尺度复杂性,为管理学者和可持续发展实践者提供理论指导。
In an era of social–ecological crises, resilience and transformation are closely related societal ambitions, but they can exacerbate tensions between public, private, and civil society members of cross-sector partnerships (XSPs). Bridging management and organization studies with social–ecological research, we advance a panarchy framework of adaptive cycles nested across interconnected scales, in which XSPs are embedded. As portrayed in the panarchy framework, we theorize that XSPs likely focus either on resilience or transformation, or they do both but at different scales. Although they likely face more complex coordination, XSPs striving for both resilience and transformation challenge their members to decide collectively what to maintain and change in the social–ecological context that they inhabit. We outline how the practices of sensemaking, deliberation and intervention enable XSPs to grapple with these cross-scale complexities, and we use our proposed framework to introduce the articles in this special issue. Finally, we propose interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research directions to advance both the theory and the practice of XSPs in fostering social–ecological systems resilience and transformation.
