Comparative Ecosystem Management and Local Participation

摘要比较生态系统管理和地方参与：从加勒比海到轴承海，这项研究评估了地方参与生态系统管理进程和机构的有效性。采用比较方法审查东加勒比和阿拉斯加的各种成功、失败和发展中案例，涉及多个司法管辖区、不同的利益攸关方、相互冲突和不确定的财产权以及各种国际、国家和地方政治实体。这项研究对以下命题进行了检验：成功地进行可持续管理需要在这一进程的所有阶段进行实质性的地方参与，从最初收集信息，到建立机构，再到评估实际做法。这项研究侧重于当地受影响群体在已被证明成功或失败的案例中参与的类型和有效性，将为目前正在开展的北极区域项目提供宝贵的经验教训，例如拟议中的白令海地区国际遗产公园。

ABSTRACT Comparative Ecosystem Management and Local Participation: From the Caribbean to the Bearing Sea This study assesses the effectiveness of local participation in the process and institutions of ecosystem management. Comparative methods are employed to examine a variety of successful, unsuccessful and developing cases in the Eastern Caribbean and Alaska involving multiple jurisdictions, diverse stakeholders, conflicting and uncertain property rights, and a variety of international, national and local political entities. The research tests the proposition that managing successfully for sustainability requires substantive local participation at all stages of the process, from the initial gathering of information, top the building of institutions, to the assessment of actual practices. By focusing on the types and effectiveness of participation by locally affected groups in cases that have already proven successful or unsuccessful, the study will provide valuable lessons for currently unfolding Arctic regional project such as the proposed Bering Sea region international heritage park.
