- Description: In one volume, this book brings together a diversity of approaches, theory and frameworks that can be used to analyse the governance of renewable natural resources. Renewable natural resources are under pressure, with over-exploitation and degradation raising concern globally. Understanding governance systems and practice is essential for developing effective and fair solutions. This book introduces readers to key concepts and issues concerned with the governance of renewable natural resources and illustrates the diversity of approaches, theories and frameworks that have been used to analyse governance systems and practice. Each chapter provides an introduction to an area of literature and theory and demonstrates application through a case study. The book covers a range of geographical locations, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries, and several types of natural resources. The approaches and theories introduced include common property theory, political ecology, institutional analysis, the social -ecological systems framework and social network analysis. Findings from across the chapters support an analytical focus on institutions and local context and a practical focus on diverse, flexible and inclusive governance solutions. The book serves as an essential introduction to the governance of renewable natural resources for students, researchers and practitioners.

- Description: Book abstract. Securing Urban Heritage considers the impact of securitization on access to urban heritage sites. Demonstrating that symbolic spaces such as these have increasingly become the location of choice for the practice and performance of contemporary politics in the last decade, the book shows how this has led to the securitization of urban public space. Highlighting specific changes that have been made, such as the installation of closed-circuit television or the limitation of access to certain streets, plazas and buildings, the book analyses the impact of different approaches to securitization.

Indigenous polycentric and nested customary sea-tenure (CST) institution: A Solomon Islands case study. In Governing Renewable Natural Resources

- Description: This ethnographic case study illustrates indigenous non-government associated polycentric/multilevel and nested sea-tenure governance systems in the Western Solomon Islands. I examine the role of central apex-related actors in marine governance and scale-up to examine the role of family, community, tribe, confederation, local community-based organizations (CBOs), and Church indigenous marine control. I illustrate how regional sociopolitical diversity and various historical processes have shaped a number of polycentric/multilevel institutions, and explain why understanding the pluralistic and nested nature of marine governance locally matters for designing and executing development and conservation interventions in the region more successfully. Polycentrism denotes the existence of a number of governance decision-making units that may be in a competitive and/or cooperative association with each other. Polycentrism in the commons literature has often focused on the positive attributes of these multiple nodes of authority systems in regional, national, and international contexts of resource management (Carlisle and Gruby, 2017), but less attention has been given to disaggregating indigenous polycentric systems at the local scale. In the case of traditional (but dynamic) long-standing indigenous institutions, such as customary sea-tenure (CST) governance, control and concomitant decision-making regarding use and access of marine resources extends across multiple levels of indigenous authority (eg, Gruby and Basurto, 2013), which stretch from central apex-related actors to charismatic and nativist churches. That is, local powers to establish boundaries, exclude interlopers, control fishing activities, and articulate conflict-resolution procedures when present (Bromley, 1992) exist across various nodes of power that may act independently but which are more commonly interacting with each other (Ostrom, 1990). As mentioned, in this chapter I describe a polycentric and nested system of local CST governance.
