Governing under conditions of uncertainty

Theme 3 Governing under conditions of uncertainty

Through the ongoing transformation from linear ‘management’ to complex ‘governance’ approaches new capacities and skills are increasingly required throughout society. The Governance of coastal and marine resources inevitably involves high levels of uncertainty – political, societal and scientific. The governance challenge is to overcome conflict by bridging fundamental differences in values, understandings and agendas in coastal and marine regions. In this theme we invite a broad range of papers that explore the potential for governance arrangements, for example, adaptive governance to overcome these conflicts.
