Understanding how governance emerges in social-ecological systems: Insights From Archetype Analysis
This paper is motivated by the question: how does governance emerge within social-ecological systems (SESs)? Addressing this question is critical for fostering sustainable transformations because it directs attention to the context specific and process intensive nature of governance as arising from the internal dynamics (i.e., interplay of feedbacks and interdependencies between the components) of SESs. This contrasts with the commonly held view …

An Assessment Framework for Integrated Food-Energy-Water Nexus Governance: Application to the Cases of Phoenix and Cape Town
Food-energy-water nexus governance has been promoted as an approach to integrate the management and policy of the three sectors together for coordinated governance. However, there are limited approaches to evaluate, assess, or measure the governance of the food-energy-water nexus. Assessment of the governance process is important to move the concept from conceptualization toward implementation and to understand the specific potential and limits o…

Urbanization-associated farmland loss: A macro-micro comparative study in China
Tragedy of the commons’ as conventional wisdom in sustainability education
More than 50 years ago biologist Garrett Hardin published his influential essay ‘The Tragedy of the Commons’. In his essay, Hardin argued that in situations where people share resources, external intervention via governmental regulations or privatization of the resource is needed to avoid resource overexploitation. While the article is considered by many resource governance scholars as misleading and incomplete, it is one of the most assigned art…
An iterative approach to case study analysis: Insights from qualitative analysis of quantitative inconsistencies
Large-N comparative studies have helped common pool resource scholars gain general insights into the factors that influence collective action and governance outcomes. However, these studies are often limited by missing data, and suffer from the methodological limitation that important information is lost when we reduce textual information to quantitative data. This study was motivated by nine case studies that appeared to be inconsistent with the…
Explaining success and failure in the commons: The configural nature of Ostrom's institutional design principles
Governing common pool resources (CPR) in the face of disturbances such as globalization and climate change is challenging. The outcome of any CPR governance regime is the influenced by local combinations of social, institutional, and biophysical factors, as well as cross-scale interdependencies. In this study, we take a step towards understanding multiple-causation of CPR outcomes by analyzing 1) the co-occurrence of Destign Principles (DP) by ac…
Challenges and opportunities in coding the commons: Problems, procedures, and potential solutions in large-N comparative case studies
On-going efforts to understand the dynamics of coupled social-ecological (or more broadly, coupled infrastructure) systems and common pool resources have led to the generation of numerous datasets based on a large number of case studies. This data has facilitated the identification of important factors and fundamental principles which increase our understanding of such complex systems. However, the data at our disposal are often not easily compar…

Strategic Bundling of Development Policies with Adaptation: An Examination of Delhi's Climate Change Action Plan
A growing number of cities in the global South are taking proactive action on climate change. Their plans provide insights into the potential for strategically bundling long-term development policymaking with the climate agenda. In this article I study the case of Delhi, the first city in India to adopt a climate change action plan. Drawing on the literature on urban ecological security, I examine: (1) the adaptation challenges that Delhi faces; …
Efficiency Through Proximity: Changes in Phosphorus Cycling at the Urban–Agricultural Interface of a Rapidly Urbanizing Desert Region
In tightly coupled socioecological systems, such as cities, the interactions between socio‐economic and biophysical characteristics of an area strongly influence ecosystem function. Very often the effects of socioeconomic activities on ecosystem function are unintended, but can impact the sustainability of a city and can have irreversible effects. The food system in its entirety, from production to treatment of human waste, is one of the most imp…
Test of Our Progress: The Translation of Economic and Social Rights Norms Into Practice
The application of the language of “rights” to the economic and social conditions of the world's impoverished populations has gained a great deal of momentum in recent years. Yet, given the continuing pervasiveness of basic deprivations for the world's poor, there is a pressing need to examine precisely how economic and social rights norms (as reflected in international treaties and other multilateral documents) are translated into practices. Thi…
The Impact of Subregional Variations in Urban Sprawl on the Prevalence of Obesity and Related Morbidity
This article examines the relationship between urban sprawl and health using a new methodological approach that accounts for the subregional variation in the different attributes of sprawl in metropolitan regions. We have developed several indicators of sprawl at the neighborhood level, including compactness, land use mix, automobile dependency, transportation connectivity, and walkability. We then use multinomial logistic models to estimate the …

Awareness and quality of knowledge regarding HIV/Aids among women in India
This paper examines the determinants of women's knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS using data from a nationally representative survey in India. Although around 45 per cent of sample women had heard about the disease, their knowledge regarding its modes of transmission and prevention is found to be limited. To explore the possibility that there may be a different process that determines awareness as opposed to quality of knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS, a …
