Collaborative Decision

After laying out steps to assist and enhance transboundary natural resource management negotiations, the focus here will be to envision, in broad terms, how these steps might be effectively explored, refined, practiced, and disseminated collaboratively between interdependent developed and developing countries. The aim is to give an example of how to bring together various disciplines in order to build capacity at the intersection of public dispute resolution, adaptive leadership, collaborative decision-making, and political communication....

Analyzes how the evidence from the Gulf of Mexico and Colorado River cases relates to the four realms of scholarship underpinning and combined through this book’s interdisciplinary research: public dispute resolution, adaptive leadership, collaborative decision-making, and political communication. These four areas, while intersecting in many ways, are often discussed, both in academia and the general public, separately from one another. Exploring the two cases through the combination of several propositions from these four areas, contributes to the development of a number of interdisciplinary practices that can assist stakeholders in the active resolution of transboundary energy, water, and environmental disputes.

A water-energy-food (WEF) nexus assessment supports natural resource management by providing an integrated framework for evaluation and decision-making. The participation of a wide range of stakeholders is essential for achieving environmental, economic, and social sustainability in this framework. This analysis supports the decision-making process of the nexus assessment by facilitating dialogue between stakeholders in order to achieve long term efficiencies, especially in rural landscapes where most of the services connected to WEF securities are provided. We identify the most relevant stakeholders operating in the connection between agricultural practices and the WEF nexus to stimulate their engagement in the nexus governance. The study area was the Atlantic Forest Reserve of Ribeirão das Lajes, Brazil. A stakeholder analysis, generating qualitative data using snowball sampling interviews was applied and, after the identification of stakeholders, an analytical categorization disclosing potential conflicts among them was performed. We obtained a pool of stakeholders from different organizational types, including a large number of public entities at local and state levels. The main threat to the development of the project is considered to be the lack of communication between the parties. We note that the prior identification of this group of stakeholders facilitates this communication, enhancing social representation in the area. Outcomes of this study demonstrate the relevance of stakeholder analysis in nexus governance for integrated natural resource management.
