Summary Annotation Drawing on five detailed case studies from the American West, the authors of this work examine how adaptive governance breaks the gridlock in natural-resource policy and advances the common interest. Unlike scientific management, which relies on science as the foundation for policies made through a central authority, adaptive governance integrates other types of knowledge into the decision-making process. The authors emphasize the need for open decision making, recognition of multiple interests in questions of natural-resource policy, local knowledge, and an integrative, interpretive science to replace traditional reductive, experimental science.
