Resource management and natural hazards
Institutional Form and Its Effect on Environmental Change: The Case of Groundwater in the Southern High Plains
Resource-management institutions mediate the relationship between society and the environment in such a way as to prevent or reduce socially and economically undersirable outcomes. Usually, these outcomes have to do with "waste" and "inefficiency" in resource use or in the investment of capital and labor. These resource regimes may take a variety of forms, the three most common archetypes being 1) private property institutions, unfettered by the …
Uneven Development and the Tragedy of the Commons: Competing Images for Nature-Society Analysis
The tragedy of the commons has become a core theoretical model for the analysis of natural resource problems, including those of depletion in the Southern Ogallala Aquifer underlying the Texas and
A Problem of Politics of Technique? Insights from Waste-Management Strategies in Sweden and France
Sweden and France are in many respects in the vanguard of high-level radioactive waste disposal efforts, and they offer sharp contrasts regarding basic strategies and underlying philosophies for waste management. We compare their waste disposal programs for insight into the dilemma of siting and developing a permanent waste repository. We find that technical decisions, as well as the more obvious sociopolitical decisions about repository developm…
Organizing and Managing Radioactive Waste Disposal as an Experiment

Resource Instrumentalism, Privatization, and Commodification
Water law in the United States has facilitated agricultural, industrial, and urban growth through the interrelated processes of resource privatization and commodification. Resource instrumentalism and the ideological sanctity of private property are the normative orders underlying the extant body of water law, at least since the mid- 19th century. Legislatures and courts have been much concerned with resolving the contradictions between and withi…
The Social Amplification of Risk: A Conceptual Framework
One of the most perplexing problems in risk analysis is why some relatively minor risks or risk events, as assessed by technical experts, often elicit strong public concerns and result in substantial impacts upon society and economy. This article sets forth a conceptual framework that seeks to link systematically the technical assessment of risk with psychological, sociological, and cultural perspectives of risk perception and risk‐related behavi…
Changes in Form and Function of Property Rights Institutions under Threatened Resource Scarcity
Institutions governing the development and use of groundwater on the High Plains changed following the expanded irrigation demand of the 1960s and 1970s. We compared the regulatory systems embodied in the common law standard of reasonableness with the legislatively authorized administrative programs. While the substantive components of the common law standard remained intact in the legislative and administrative programs, the form and function of…
