合作过程已成为国际上许多自然资源管理（NRM）项目的首选工具。鉴于问题的难度、利益相关者的广泛性以及NRM责任的分散性，针对邪恶的NRM问题的合作方法似乎很有吸引力。本研究澳大利亚的合作，以解决邪恶的NRM问题，在区域范围内检查四个不同的案例研究。我们分析和对比了具体邪恶问题的挑战，合作形式的历史出现，以及在四个大区域内遇到的好处和挑战。除了每项合作安排中的具体组织和财务困难外，我们还发现在相对较长的时间范围内存在一些共同的挑战（和机遇）。其中包括：管理各种相互竞争的利益和任务的交叉点;在知识不确定的情况下解决重大问题;长期保持重点和努力;建立地方和区域势头和连续性，同时适应其他治理级别的政策变化;认识到合作和适应性变化的机会;以及建立合作平台，将科学-政策-社区领导联系起来。我们反思可以通过比较不同的尝试，在区域范围内利用合作作为一种工具来管理邪恶的社会生态政策问题，在很长的时间框架内学到什么。(C)2016爱思唯尔B.

Collaborative processes have become instruments of choice in many programs of natural resource management (NRM) internationally. Collaborative approaches to wicked NRM problems appear attractive, given the difficulty of the issues, the wide range of stakeholders, and the dispersed responsibilities for NRM. This study of Australia's use of collaboration to tackle wicked NRM problems at regional scales examines four diverse case studies. We analyse and contrast the challenges of specific wicked problems, the historical emergence of collaborative forms, and the benefits and challenges encountered within each of four large regions. In addition to specific organizational and financial difficulties within each collaborative arrangement, we found several common challenges (and opportunities) over relatively long timeframes. These included: managing the intersection of diverse competing interests and mandates; navigating significant issues despite uncertain knowledge; maintaining focus and effort over long periods; building local and regional momentum and continuity while adjusting to policy changes at other levels of governance; recognizing opportunities for collaboration and adaptive change; and generating collaborative platforms for linking science-policy-community leadership. We reflect on what can be learned by comparing diverse attempts at the regional scale to utilize collaboration as an instrument for managing wicked socio-ecological policy problems over long timeframes.
