  • The Role of Collaborative Gaps in Stakeholders' Partnership Evaluations in Complex Environmental Governance Systems

    Open Access•Harrison Fried, Ramiro Berardo et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Policy and Governance•2026

    In this article, we explore how stakeholders navigate potential collaborative partnerships in complex social‐ecological systems. Building from literature on social‐ecological fit, collaborative governance, and resource dependence, we evaluate the degree to which (1) collaborative gaps (i.e., instances where stakeholders manage the same issue(s) but do not directly collaborate), (2) mutual partners, and (3) the potential to access social, financia…

  • A new beef

    Open Access•Nikki Nadeau, Ramiro Berardo•ARTICLE•Review of Policy Research•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 61

    A robust approach to examining the nature and influence of coalitions in the policy process is the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), which is especially useful to study policy issues fraught with scientific and technical controversy. Yet, important gaps exist in ACF literature regarding nascent policy subsystems. Consequently, there is scant knowledge about early coalition development and subsystem dynamics. One valuable way to address this sho…

  • Engaged Network Tools to Close Collaborative Gaps

    Open Access•Harrison Fried, Matthew Hamilton et al.•ARTICLE•Society & Natural Resources•2024•Citada por: 1•Referências: 22

    In this paper, we explore how community-engaged network tools can help to overcome fragmentation in environmental governance systems. We created a network tool that offers personalized partnership recommendations to practitioners that would close “collaborative gaps,” which are instances where two actors who manage the same issue(s) fail to collaborate with one another. The network tool is based on a social-ecological network of 88 stakeholder or…

  • Theorizing Multilevel Closure Structures Guiding Forum Participation

    Open Access•Harrison Fried, M Hamilton et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Public Administration…•2023•Citada por: 9•Referências: 92

    Understanding how stakeholders choose to participate in different policy forums is central to research on complex, polycentric governance systems. In this article, we draw upon the Ecology of Games Theory (EGT) to develop theoretical expectations about how four incentive structures may guide how actors navigate the world of policy forums. We test these expectations using unique data on a three-mode network of actors, forums, and issues related to…

  • ‘Bunkering down’

    Open Access•M Louise Barnes, Lorien Jasny et al.•ARTICLE•People and Nature•2022

    Complex networks of relationships among and between people and nature (social‐ecological networks) play an important role in sustainability; yet, we have limited empirical understanding of their temporal dynamics. We empirically examine the evolution of a social‐ecological network in a common‐pool resource system faced with escalating social and environmental change over the past two decades. We first draw on quantitative and qualitative data col…

  • Measuring Policy Conflict and Concord

    Hongtao Yi, Christopher M Weible et al.•ARTICLE•Society & Natural Resources•2022•Citada por: 3•Referências: 1

    Measuring policy conflict and concord about natural resource and environmental issues has been a challenge for scholars. While some have assessed policy conflict and concord in particular locations, current approaches are inadequate for measuring and comparing them across settings or over time. This research note offers a methodological approach for measuring policy conflict and concord through a systematic analysis of the news media. The approac…

  • Policy composition and adoption duration

    Open Access•Catherine Y Chen, Tanya Heikkila et al.•ARTICLE•Policy Studies Journal•2022•Citada por: 5•Referências: 26

    The way in which public policies are composed may lead to conflicts that manifest in an extended policymaking duration. This paper explores the associations between policy composition and the relative duration for policies to be adopted in 15 U.S. state legislatures. We treat policy passage duration as an indicator of policy conflicts in the legislative process. We adapt the institutional grammar tool (IGT) to examine how 168 oil and gas developm…

  • Birds of a Feather Fight Together

    Open Access•Tomás Olivier, Ramiro Berardo•ARTICLE•Policy Studies Journal•2022•Citada por: 8•Referências: 44

    Policymaking in modern democracies often occurs in polycentric governance systems where decisions are made in multiple, relatively interdependent policy forums. The role and performance of policy forums, however, is likely to be influenced by their broader institutional context. Institutional contexts impose transaction costs that stakeholders must consider when self‐organizing, particularly in weakly institutionalized settings where the transact…

  • Closing integrative gaps in complex environmental governance systems

    Open Access•Harrison S Fried, Harrison Fried et al.•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2022•Citada por: 3

    Modern environmental problems pose unique management challenges as they are usually interdependent in myriad, complex ways. Climate change is the ultimate example of a problem that forces environmental managers to confront highly interdependent challenges, such as invasive species, rising temperatures, and habitat loss. Interdependencies abound: for example, the issue of warming winter temperatures exacerbates the issue of invasive species, and a…

  • The Origins of Conflict in Polycentric Governance Systems

    Open Access•Mark Lubell, Jack Mewhirter et al.•ARTICLE•Public Administration Review•2020

    Natural resources are governed by polycentric systems, which can be conceptualized as an “ecology of games” in which policy actors participate in multiple policy forums governing interdependent issues. This article analyzes why actors perceive different payoffs across the forums in which they participate, ranging from mutually beneficial games of cooperation to conflictual zero‐sum games in which one actor ' s gain means another actor ' s loss. T…

  • Portraying the Structure and Evolution of Polycentricity via Policymaking Venues

    Open Access•Christopher M Weible, Jill Yordy et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of the…•2020

    This paper portrays a polycentric governance system by exploring the evolution of its structure and the interdependencies of its policymaking venues. It utilizes a semi-automated approach developed from the institutional grammar to analyze four policymaking venues by their 55 public policies adopted from 2007 through 2019 in the context of oil and gas development in Colorado, USA. The results show that this governance system continuously evolves …

  • A framework for teaching socio-environmental problem-solving

    Open Access•Cynthia A Wei, Michael L Deaton et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Environmental Studies…•2020•Referências: 9

    The urgent environmental challenges we now face, from climate change to biodiversity loss, involve people and the planet, the social, and the environmental. Teaching students to become effective socio-environmental problem-solvers requires clarity about concepts and competencies needed to understand and tackle these challenges. Here, we propose an educational framework that describes what students should learn and how they should apply this knowl…

  • Coalitional Architecture of Climate Change Litigation Networks in the United States

    Open Access•Fynn Holm, Ramiro Berardo•ARTICLE•Review of Policy Research•2020•Referências: 38

    Understanding how coalitions battle to advance or slow down regulatory efforts to address climate change is critical to assess the likelihood that regulatory approaches can succeed in curbing the emission of greenhouse gases. This requires a thorough examination of how coalitions form and are structured. We focus our analysis on the Obama administration's “Climate Action Plan,” aimed to tackle greenhouse gas emissions from the operation of oil an…

  • Collaborative Governance and the Challenges of Network-Based Research

  • Participation and Political Influence in Complex Governance Systems

    Open Access•Jack Mewhirter, Eric A Coleman et al.•ARTICLE•Policy Studies Journal•2019•Citada por: 30•Referências: 31

    Public policy generally emerges from interactions among actors embedded within complex governance systems, composed of multiple actors and forums (issue‐based arenas where stakeholders repeatedly interact to resolve collective action problems). Such systems allow actors multiple forums wherein they can influence policy decisions. But actors do not value the decisions made in each forum equally, and it remains unclear how actors allocate resources…

  • The Impact of Forum Interdependence and Network Structure on Actor Performance in Complex Governance Systems

    Open Access•Jack Mewhirter, Ramiro Berardo•ARTICLE•Policy Studies Journal•2019•Citada por: 19•Referências: 44

    One of the main assumptions of the Ecology of Games Framework (EGF) is that governance processes are heavily affected by the interactions among policy actors that take place in multiple decision‐making forums, which often function interdependently. In this article, we use data collected in the Tampa Bay and California Delta water governance systems to examine how “biophysical interdependence”—the extent to which forums deal with interconnected po…

  • Impact of Land Use Activities in the Maumee River Watershed on Harmful Algal Blooms in Lake Erie

    Ramiro Berardo, Francesca Formica et al.•ARTICLE•Case Studies in the Environment•2017

    One of the focal events motivating the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972 was the decline of water quality in Lake Erie, which was originally linked to insufficient treatment of wastewater in some of the biggest adjacent urban centers. The passing of the CWA and the adoption of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement in the early 1970s contributed to the quick improvement of water quality in the two ensuing decades, but the 1990s saw the retu…

    Policy actors seek network contacts to improve individual payoffs in the institutional collective action dilemmas endemic to fragmented policy arenas. The risk hypothesis argues that actors seek bridging relationships (well‐connected, popular partners that maximize their access to information) when cooperation involves low risks, but seek bonding relationships (transitive, reciprocal relationships that maximize credibility) when risks of defectio…

  • Do Networks Solve Collective Action Problems? Credibility, Search, and Collaboration

    Open Access•Ramiro Berardo, Tomás Olivier et al.•ARTICLE•Review of Policy Research•2015•Citada por: 23•Referências: 35

    Solving environmental problems on a regional scale demands joint efforts by multiple stakeholders, but coordinating such efforts can be difficult in complex governance systems. In this article, we combine the literature in Adaptive Governance with the Ecology of Policy Games (EPGs) framework to enhance our understanding of how complex governance systems react to environmental focusing events. We study the EPGs in the Paraná River delta in Argenti…

  • Networks and the Politics of the Environment

    Ramiro Berardo, Isabella Alcañiz et al.•BOOK•Oxford Handbook of Political…•2016

    This chapter surveys recent research that utilizes the measures and techniques of social network analysis (SNA) to explain socioecological outcomes. The chapter focuses on the role of key characteristics of networks—including density and fragmentation, bonding and bridging social capital, brokerage and leadership—in promoting adaptive governance and co-management, and in turn, successful environmental management outcomes. It argues that network s…

  • Transaction Costs and the Perceived Effectiveness of Complex Institutional Systems

    Open Access•Mark Lubell, Jack M Mewhirter et al.•ARTICLE•Public Administration Review•2016•Citada por: 76•Referências: 28

    This article studies factors affecting how policy actors perceive the effectiveness of political institutions involved in complex water governance systems. The ecology of games framework argues that participants are more likely to perceive institutions as effective when the benefits of solving collective action problems outweigh the transaction costs of developing political contracts within these institutions. The authors hypothesize that transac…

  • Impact of Land Use Activities in the Maumee River Watershed on Harmful Algal Blooms in Lake Erie

    Ramiro Berardo, Francesca Formica et al.•ARTICLE•Case Studies in the Environment•2017

    One of the focal events motivating the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972 was the decline of water quality in Lake Erie, which was originally linked to insufficient treatment of wastewater in some of the biggest adjacent urban centers. The passing of the CWA and the adoption of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement in the early 1970s contributed to the quick improvement of water quality in the two ensuing decades, but the 1990s saw the retu…

  • A Comparative View of Advocacy Coalitions

    Tanya Heikkila, Ramiro Berardo et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Comparative Policy…•2018•Citada por: 29•Referências: 8

    Political mobilization of policy actors into advocacy coalitions is a defining feature of policy subsystems. Nonetheless, knowledge about the particularities of advocacy coalitions across different political systems remains limited. This paper offers insights for comparative analysis of advocacy coalitions by exploring the issue of shale development in the United States, Argentina, and China using media content analysis. Methodologically, it adva…

  • Participation and Political Influence in Complex Governance Systems

    Open Access•Jack Mewhirter, Eric A Coleman et al.•ARTICLE•Policy Studies Journal•2019•Citada por: 30•Referências: 31

    Public policy generally emerges from interactions among actors embedded within complex governance systems, composed of multiple actors and forums (issue‐based arenas where stakeholders repeatedly interact to resolve collective action problems). Such systems allow actors multiple forums wherein they can influence policy decisions. But actors do not value the decisions made in each forum equally, and it remains unclear how actors allocate resources…

  • The Impact of Forum Interdependence and Network Structure on Actor Performance in Complex Governance Systems

    Open Access•Jack Mewhirter, Ramiro Berardo•ARTICLE•Policy Studies Journal•2019•Citada por: 19•Referências: 44

    One of the main assumptions of the Ecology of Games Framework (EGF) is that governance processes are heavily affected by the interactions among policy actors that take place in multiple decision‐making forums, which often function interdependently. In this article, we use data collected in the Tampa Bay and California Delta water governance systems to examine how “biophysical interdependence”—the extent to which forums deal with interconnected po…

  • Systemic coordination and the problem of seasonal harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie

    Open Access•Ramiro Berardo, V Kelly Turner et al.•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2019

    The management of natural resources may potentially be improved when governance structures in social-ecological systems enable coordination among multiple actors who may operate on the same or different geographic and/or governmental scales

  • The Origins of Conflict in Polycentric Governance Systems

    Open Access•Mark Lubell, Jack Mewhirter et al.•ARTICLE•Public Administration Review•2020

    Natural resources are governed by polycentric systems, which can be conceptualized as an “ecology of games” in which policy actors participate in multiple policy forums governing interdependent issues. This article analyzes why actors perceive different payoffs across the forums in which they participate, ranging from mutually beneficial games of cooperation to conflictual zero‐sum games in which one actor ' s gain means another actor ' s loss. T…
