Brunner, Ronald. — Adaptive Governance: Integrating Science, Policy, and Decision Making.

New York : Columbia University Press, 2005. Hardcover. xvi,319 pp. - Drawing on five detailed case studies from the American West, the authors explore and clarify how to expedite a transition toward adaptive governance and break the gridlock in natural resource policymaking. Unlike scientific management, which relies on science as the foundation for policies made through a central bureaucratic authority, adaptive governance integrates various types of knowledge and organizations. Adaptive governance relies on open decision-making processes recognizing multiple interests, community-based initiatives, and an integrative science in addition to traditional science. English text.
