How fit turns into misfit and back: Institutional Transformations of Pastoral Commons in African Floodplains Ecology and Society
Haller, Tobias; University of Bern, Institute of Social Anthropology; haller@anthro.unibe.ch; Fokou, Gilbert; NCCR North-South, University of Bern, Switzerland University of Yaounde, Cameroon; gilbertfokou@yahoo.fr; Mbeyale, Gimbage; Soikoine University, Tanzania; gimbage@yahoo.com; Meroka, Patrick; University of Zurich, Switzerland; meroka2004@yahoo.de.
We enlarge the notion of institutional fit using theoretical approaches from New Institutionalism, including rational choice and strategic action, political ecology and constructivist approaches. These approaches are combined with ecological approaches (system and evolutionary ecology) focusing on feedback loops and change. We offer results drawn from a comparison of fit and misfit cases of institutional change in pastoral commons in four African floodplain contexts (Zambia, Cameroon, Tanzania (two cases). Cases of precolonial fit and misfit in the postcolonial past, as well as a case of institutional fit in the postcolonial phase, highlight important features, specifically, flexible institutions, leadership, and mutual economic benefit under specific...

Addressing the temporal fit of institutions: the regulation of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in Europe Ecology and Society
Honkela, Nina; Department of Social Research, University of Helsinki; nina.honkela@helsinki.fi; Hukkinen, Janne I.; Department of Social Research, University of Helsinki; Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki; Department of Economics and Management, University of Helsinki; janne.i.hukkinen@helsinki.fi.
The concept of temporal fit between biophysical systems and institutions has lately received great attention by scholars interested in environmental governance. Although we agree that the concept of temporal fit is a valuable approach for highlighting the temporal challenges of governance systems, we argue that the concept is currently lacking precision with regard to temporal complexity. We build on Barbara Adam’s work on “timescapes” to offer a more nuanced account of temporal fit and misfit. We illustrate the analytical usefulness of our approach by examining the regulation of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) within European Union’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals...

Public Participation and Institutional Fit: A Social–Psychological Perspective Ecology and Society
DeCaro, Daniel A.; Vincent and Elinor Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory & Policy Analysis, Indiana University; Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of Louisville; Center for Land Use and Environmental Responsibility, University of Louisville; decaro.daniel@gmail.com; Stokes, Michael K.; Western Kentucky University; Micheal.Stokes@wku.edu.
Public participation plays a role in the development and long-term maintenance of environmental institutions that are well-matched to local social–ecological conditions. However, the means by which public participation impacts such institutional fit remains unclear. We argue that one major reason for this lack of clarity is that analysts have not clearly outlined how humankind’s sense of agency, or self-determination, influences institutional outcomes. Moreover, the concept of institutional fit is ambiguous as to what constitutes a good fit and how such fit could be diagnosed or improved. This is especially true for “social fit,” or how well institutions match human expectations and local behavioral patterns. We...

Institutional Fit and River Basin Governance: a New Approach Using Multiple Composite Measures Ecology and Society
Lebel, Louis; Chiang Mai University, Thailand; llebel@loxinfo.co.th; Nikitina, Elena; Ecopolicy, Moscow, Russian Federation; elenanikitina@bk.ru; Pahl-Wostl, Claudia; Institute of Environmental Systems Research, University of Osnabrueck, Germany; pahl@usf.uni-osnabrueck.de; Knieper, Christian; Institute of Environmental Systems Research, University of Osnabrueck, Germany; cknieper@uni-osnabrueck.de.
The notion that effective environmental governance depends in part on achieving a reasonable fit between institutional arrangements and the features of ecosystems and their interconnections with users has been central to much thinking about social-ecological systems for more than a decade. Based on expert consultations this study proposes a set of six dimensions of fit for water governance regimes and then empirically explores variation in measures of these in 28 case studies of national parts of river basins in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa drawing on a database compiled by the Twin2Go project. The six measures capture different but potentially important dimensions of fit: allocation, integration, conservation, basinization, participation, and...

SMART social science? Examining the nature and role of social scientific expertise in institutional design Ecology and Society
Tait, Morgan C; University of Waterloo; m5tait@uwaterloo.ca.
Daniel Bromley argues against Oran Young’s FIT model as a basis for environmental governance, on the grounds that humans cannot manage nature and that attempts to do so are based on a scientistic, modernist conceit. At issue is the role of natural and social scientists in adjudicating questions about what we ought to do to close governance gaps and address unsustainable behaviors. If Bromley is right, then the lessons of the American pragmatist tradition recommend against attempts to “fit” social institutions to the natural world. The first objective of this paper is to argue that Bromley’s view is not in keeping with the pragmatism of C. S. Peirce and John Dewey, which actually places a high value on natural and...

The problem of spatial fit in social-ecological systems: detecting mismatches between ecological connectivity and land management in an urban region Ecology and Society
Bergsten, Arvid; Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University; arvid.bergsten@su.se; Galafassi, Diego; Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University; diego.galafassi@su.se.
The problem of institutional fit in social-ecological systems has been empirically documented and conceptually discussed for decades, yet there is a shortage of approaches to systematically and quantitatively examine the level of fit. We address this gap, focusing on spatial fit in an urban and peri-urban regional landscape. Such landscapes typically exhibit significant fragmentation of remnant habitats, which can limit critical species dispersal. This may have detrimental effects on species persistence and ecosystem functioning if land use is planned without consideration of the spatial patterns of fragmentation. Managing habitat fragmentation is particularly challenging when the scale of fragmentation reaches beyond the control of single managers,...

Nudging Evolution? Ecology and Society
This Special Feature, “Nudging Evolution? Critical Exploration of the Potential and Limitations of the Concept of Institutional Fit for the Study and Adaptive Management of Social-Ecological Systems,” aims to contribute toward the development of social theory and social research methods for the study of social-ecological system dynamics. Our objective is to help strengthen the academic discourse concerning if, and if so, how, to what extent, and in what concrete ways the concept of institutional “fit” might play a role in helping to develop better understanding of the social components of interlinkages between the socioeconomic-cultural and ecological dynamics of social-ecological systems. Two clearly discernible...

Diagnosing Institutional Fit: a Formal Perspective Ecology and Society
Cox, Michael; Dartmouth College; michael.e.cox@dartmouth.edu.
I attempt to demonstrate that the concept of institutional fit and the closely related approach of institutional diagnosis can be improved with the process of formalization. In this context, the concept of fit is interpreted as a way of expressing certain theoretical propositions that relate a set of variables with each other and with an outcome. This perspective is demonstrated through the use of the Web Ontology Language to express several "theories of fit." Using a formal language to describe types of fit and their associated theories is argued to have much potential for advancing the scientific study of social-ecological systems.
