Learning from best practice in sustainable governance performance

这个博士项目是自然英格兰和埃克塞特大学RENEW项目“社区行动”主题的合作项目。许多社区正在将战略规划扩大到传统经济工具之外，将健康、福祉、自然和可持续性纳入其中（Kubiszewski等人，2013；Stiglitz等人，2018；Cavalletti和Corsi, 2018； Sunderland和Butterworth， 2016）。这些工具可用于公共管理决策系统，以及对政治社区的民主问责（James et al. 2020）。这个博士研究项目将确定表现优异的政治社区-特别是那些在不损害自然或可持续性的情况下实现健康和福祉的社区，以及在使用战略工具以促进综合方法促进这些成果方面具有最佳实践的社区。该研究将评估在不同级别的治理（国际、国家、区域和地方政治社区）传播最佳实践的潜力，特别是为自然英格兰和英格兰地方当局合作伙伴正在使用的健康、福祉、自然和可持续性（HWNS）工具的研究提供信息。这些理论和方法将来自公共政策、政治学、公共管理、生态经济学、行为经济学、心理学、地理学和社会学等领域所使用的社会和行为科学。将根据现有数据使用定量方法，并辅以关于工具使用情况的个案研究。项目产出将包括一篇博士论文，以及英国自然协会和地方公共当局使用或计划使用此类工具的研究结果。Cavalletti， B., & Corsi， M.（2018）。“超越GDP”对经合组织国家国民主观幸福感的影响。社会指标研究，36(3),931-966。James， O., Olsen, a.l., Moynihan, d.p., and Van Ryzin, g.g.（2020）。行为公共绩效：人们如何理解政府指标。剑桥大学出版社。Kubiszewski， I., Costanza， R., Franco， C., Lawn， P., Talberth， J., Jackson， T.和Aylmer， C.（2013）。超越GDP：衡量和实现全球真正的进步。生态经济，1993,57-68。桑德兰，T.，巴特沃斯，T.（2016）。满足地方经济决策者对环境证据的需求：地方环境与经济发展（LEED）工具包。生态学报，17(7):397 - 397。斯蒂格利茨，j.e.，菲图西，J-P和杜兰德，M. 2018超越GDP：衡量经济和社会绩效的重要性。巴黎，经合组织出版社。

This PhD project is a partnership between Natural England and the University of Exeter RENEW project 'Community Action' theme. Many communities are broadening strategic planning beyond conventional economic tools to include measures of health, wellbeing, nature and sustainability (Kubiszewski et al. 2013; Stiglitz et al 2018; Cavalletti and Corsi 2018; Sunderland and Butterworth 2016). The tools can be used in public management decision making systems, and for democratic accountability to political communities (James et al. 2020). This PhD research project will identify political communities with high performance -especially those achieving health and wellbeing without compromising nature or sustainability, and communities with best practice in the use of strategic tools to promote an integrated approach to promoting these outcomes. The research will assess the potential for spreading best practice at different levels of governance (international, national, regional and local political communities) especially to inform research about the Health, Wellbeing, Nature and Sustainability (HWNS) tool being used by Natural England and local authority partners in England. The theories and methods will be drawn from social and behavioural sciences as used in the fields of public policy, political science, public management, ecological economics, behavioural economics, psychology, geography and sociology. Quantitative methods will be used drawing on available data, supplemented by case studies about the use of the tools. The project outputs will include a PhD thesis and findings for Natural England and local public authorities using, or planning to use, tools of this kind.Cavalletti, B., & Corsi, M. (2018).
