Download or read book Stakeholder Engagement in Marine Protected Area Network Planning in Southern California written by Nicole Catalano and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the MPA network planning process associated with California’s Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) in southern California, occurring between 2008-2009. This case study demonstrates the ongoing complexity of MPA planning efforts in balancing social and science goals and reinforces the view that public participation alone may not be sufficient in achieving the type of stakeholder support needed for successful MPA implementation. Using a qualitative approach, this research draws upon the field of public participation to examine the efficacy of the planning process from the perspectives of fishing, government, and environmental stakeholders. Findings reveal significant differences in perceptions among stakeholder groups. The fishing stakeholder group felt marginalized and expressed dissatisfaction with the process and the final MPA designations. The environmental and government stakeholder groups expressed a higher level of satisfaction, but were disappointed with the compromises that were made on the scientific criteria used for MPA design. The key factors that impacted stakeholder perceptions about the planning process and outcome were decision-making, influence, and transparency. Despite these findings, this study highlights a number of positive outcomes associated with capacity-building.

Book Synopsis An Advocacy Coalition Framework Approach to Stakeholder Analysis by : Christopher M. Weible
Download or read book An Advocacy Coalition Framework Approach to Stakeholder Analysis written by Christopher M. Weible and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing recognition that public policy controversies are driven more by value differences than by technical deficiencies. Unfortunately, we have yet to develop, test, and refine systematic approaches for understanding political systems. In this article I explain how the advocacy coalition framework (ACF) can be used as a theoretical basis for understanding political context via a stakeholder analysis. An ACF stakeholder analysis widens the attention of policy analysts toward subsystem-wide dynamics with multiple actors who are motivated by their beliefs, structure their relationships into advocacy coalitions, and try to influence policy through utilizing multiple resources and venues. I illustrate an ACF approach to stakeholder analysis in a scientifically contentious political conflict over the establishment of marine protected areas in California. I conclude with a summary of contributions to the ACF literature and the strengths and limitations of conducting an ACF stakeholder analysis.
Book Synopsis Evaluating Software in Environmental Conflict Resolution by : Amanda Emily Cravens
Download or read book Evaluating Software in Environmental Conflict Resolution written by Amanda Emily Cravens and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental managers and planners have become increasingly enthusiastic about the potential of collaborative technology such as decision support tools (DSTs) to improve environmental decision-making processes. Discussions about technology, however, rarely recognize the range of ways software can influence users' thinking and social dynamics in decision-making processes, in part because there are few empirical studies of processes that integrated technology tools. This mixed-methods study--which draws on data from approximately 60 semi-structured interviews, an online survey, the applications' log files, and videotaped meeting archives--examines how the geospatial DST MarineMap influenced participants' experiences during the implementation of California's Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA), producing a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) along the California Coast. More broadly, it argues for the importance of empirically observing how tools functioned and provides suggestions for evaluating software in environmental decision making. Overall, this research suggests that software should not be considered an objective source of information, but an active shaper of process dynamics. Implications include the need to evaluate tools as well as processes and the need for those implementing decision making processes to pay attention to the role software is playing.

Book Synopsis The Other Slavery by : Andrés Reséndez
Download or read book The Other Slavery written by Andrés Reséndez and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST | WINNER OF THE BANCROFT PRIZE. A landmark history—the sweeping story of the enslavement of tens of thousands of Indians across America, from the time of the conquistadors up to the early twentieth century. Since the time of Columbus, Indian slavery was illegal in much of the American continent. Yet, as Andrés Reséndez illuminates in his myth-shattering The Other Slavery, it was practiced for centuries as an open secret. There was no abolitionist movement to protect the tens of thousands of Natives who were kidnapped and enslaved by the conquistadors. Reséndez builds the incisive case that it was mass slavery—more than epidemics—that decimated Indian populations across North America. Through riveting new evidence, including testimonies of courageous priests, rapacious merchants, and Indian captives, The Other Slavery reveals nothing less than a key missing piece of American history. For over two centuries we have fought over, abolished, and tried to come to grips with African American slavery. It is time for the West to confront an entirely separate, equally devastating enslavement we have long failed truly to see. “The Other Slavery is nothing short of an epic recalibration of American history, one that’s long overdue...In addition to his skills as a historian and an investigator, Résendez is a skilled storyteller with a truly remarkable subject. This is historical nonfiction at its most important and most necessary.” — Literary Hub, 20 Best Works of Nonfiction of the Decade ““One of the most profound contributions to North American history.”—Los Angeles Times
Book Synopsis Documents of American Indian Diplomacy by : Vine Deloria
Download or read book Documents of American Indian Diplomacy written by Vine Deloria and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 1579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reproduced in this two-volume set are hundreds of treaties and agreements made by Indian nations--with, among others, the Continental Congress; England, Spain, and other foreign countries; the ephemeral Republic of Texas and the Confederate States; railroad companies seeking rights-of-way across Indian land; and other Indian nations. Many were made with the United States but either remained unratified by Congress or were rejected by the Indians themselves after the Senate amended them unacceptably. Many others are "agreements" made after the official--but hardly de facto--end of U.S. treaty making in 1871. With the help of chapter introductions that concisely set each type of treaty in its historical and political context, these documents effectively trace the evolution of American Indian diplomacy in the United States.
