Master’s Programme: Social-Ecological Resilience for Sustainable Development Course 3: Governance and management of social-ecological systems

(15hp) Course leader: Miriam Huitric

Updated: 7th January 2015.

Brief Description This course will explore alternative approaches for analysing how people make choices, use rules, and learn to manage and govern social-ecological systems. The course will combine economic approaches to uncertainty, approaches to ecological management that enable learning, how institutional choices shape environmental management, and how governance can be designed to adapt to social-ecological change. Students will learn how to apply cost-benefit analysis, decision analysis under uncertainty, and game theory to the analysis of environmental issues. They will explore successful cases of environmental management, and how governance systems have been successfully transformed. Strategies for effecting positive change in environmental management, and barriers impeding such change will be examined. Students will be introduced to theoretical concepts, methods for analysis, and conduct group and individual research projects that utilize these concepts and methods. Course Learning Outcomes It is expected that the student, after taking the course, will be able to:

1. Apply cost-benefit analysis and decision analysis in simple real world situations. 2. Be familiar with institutional aspects of social-ecological management that can lead to

successful and unsuccessful management. 3. Use game theory to analyse the creation of ecological problems. 4. Analyse the ability of different aspects of ecological management to support or

impede learning. 5. Explain the challenges and opportunities of adaptive governance.

Course Modules The course consists of the following three modules, which are detailed in the following pages: Module 7: Challenges of Environmental Decision-making (4 hp), Module 8: Adaptive Management (4 hp), Module 9: Drama of the Commons (3 hp), Module 10: Adaptive Governance (4 hp).
