The Politics of Environmental Networks II

Abstract

Environmental problems such as the climate emergency, biodiversity loss, natural resource depletion, and the associated environmental justice concerns have spurred a vast amount of research on environmental governance spanning across mono- to polycentric, adaptive, collaborative, and transformative approaches, which have increasingly adopted network perspectives. However, there is a lot to be learned about how politics in different environmental networks relates to the broader governance contexts and systems shaping policy and, ultimately, socio-environmental outcomes. Examining politics within environmental networks encompasses a broad array of research, including power dynamics, patterns of collaboration and conflict, framing and mobilization processes, crisis management, transboundary governance systems, and coalitional behavior. The paper abstracts submitted to this panel will be considered for the eponymic Special Issue in the Politics and Governance journal.
