| Local ecological knowledge (LEK) can shed light on ecosystem change, especially in under-researched areas such as South Africa’s Wild Coast. However, for ecosystem planning purposes, it is necessary to assess the accuracy and validity of LEK, and determine where such knowledge is situated in a community, and how evenly it is spread. Furthermore, it is relevant to ask: does LEK add value to science, and how do science and local knowledge complement one another? We assessed change in woodland and forest cover in the Nqabara Administrative Area on South Africa’s Wild Coast between 1974 and 2001. The inhabitants of Nqabara are “traditional” Xhosa-speaking people who are highly dependent on natural resources for their... |

| O presente capítulo tem por finalidade descrever e analisar alguns instrumentos legais e políticos nacionais de maior relevância e mais atuais, apontando-se aspectos positivos e limitações para assegurar a manutenção e a provisão de SE em sinergia com iniciativas e plataformas globais. Um item específico resume o estado da arte de instrumentos legais e políticos estaduais e municipais. O capítulo também aborda como a pesquisa da Embrapa e seus parceiros pode contribuir para tornar as ações no âmbito desses instrumentos legais e políticos mais efetivas e robustas. |

| A Embrapa Semiárido une-se às iniciativas de melhoria contínua das técnicas, métodos e processos produtivos desenvolvidos ao longo das últimas quatro décadas para a convivência sustentável das famílias no Semiárido brasileiro. Considerando-se que a forma de uso dos recursos naturais tem ultrapassado os limites ecológicos e que, a capacidade de renovação desses recursos, a contaminação dos mananciais superficiais e subterrâneos, a degradação das terras e de sua fertilidade têm exigido a adoção de princípios modernos de conservação, por causa de suas potencialidades socioeconômicas e ecológicas. Neste contexto, apresenta-se uma proposta técnico-metodológica inovadora para implementação de políticas públicas em âmbito regional, estadual, municipal e local, em... |

| Parochial politics is typically associated with poor leadership and low levels of public good provision. This paper explores the possibility that community involvement in politics need not necessarily worsen governance and, indeed, can be efficiency enhancing when the context is appropriate. Complementing the new literature on the role of community networks in solving market problems, we test the hypothesis that strong traditional social institutions can discipline the leaders they put forward, successfully substituting for secular political institutions when they are ineffective. Using new data on Indian local governments at the ward level over multiple terms, and exploiting the randomized election reservation system, we find that the presence of a... |

| New concepts of governance take account of ambivalence, uncertainty, and distributed power in societal change. They aim for reflexivity regarding the limits of prognostic knowledge and actual control of complex processes of change. Adaptive management and transition management are two examples that evolved from the analysis of social–ecological and sociotechnical systems, respectively. Both feature strategies of collective experimentation and learning. In this paper, we ask how these two designs of reflexive governance consider politics. Based on a framework of different dimensions and levels of politics, we show that they are mainly concerned with problem solving by a focal process, but conflict and asymmetric power relations, as well as the... |

| The appropriate scales for science, management, and decision making cannot be unambiguously derived from physical characteristics of water resources. Scales are a joint product of social and biophysical processes. The politics-of-scale metaphor has been helpful in drawing attention to the ways in which scale choices are constrained overtly by politics, and more subtly by choices of technologies, institutional designs, and measurements. In doing so, however, the scale metaphor has been stretched to cover a lot of different spatial relationships. In this paper, we argue that there are benefits to understanding—and actions to distinguish—issues of scale from those of place and position. We illustrate our arguments with examples from the... |

| The long-term character of climate change and the high costs of adaptation measures, in combination with their uncertain effects, turn climate adaptation governance into a torturous process. We systematically review the literature on climate adaptation governance to analyze the scholarly understanding of these complexities. Building on governance literature about long-term and complex policy problems, we develop a conceptual matrix based on the dimensions knowledge and power to systematically study the peer-reviewed literature on climate adaptation governance. We find that about a quarter of the reviewed journal articles do not address the knowledge or power dimension of the governance of climate change adaptation, about half of the articles discuss either... |
