Social Learning in European River-Basin Management: Barriers and Fostering Mechanisms from 10 River Basins
TLDR
In this article, the authors present and analyze 10 case studies of participatory river-basin management that were conducted as part of the European HarmoniCOP project, which emphasizes the importance of collaboration, organization, and learning.Abstract:
We present and analyze 10 case studies of participatory river-basin management that were conducted as part of the European HarmoniCOP project. The main theme was social learning, which emphasizes the importance of collaboration, organization, and learning. The case studies show that social learning in river-basin management is not an unrealistic ideal. Resistance to social learning was encountered, but many instances of social learning were found, and several positive results were identified. Moreover, 71 factors fostering or hindering social learning were identified; these could be grouped into eight themes: the role of stakeholder involvement, politics and institutions, opportunities for interaction, motivation and skills of leaders and facilitators, openness and transparency, representativeness, framing and reframing, and adequate resources. Promising topics for further research include the facilitation of the social learning processes, the role of power, and interactions in political and institutional contexts.read more

A conceptual framework for analysing adaptive capacity and multi-level learning processes in resource governance regimes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop a conceptual framework addressing the dynamics and adaptive capacity of resource governance regimes as multi-level learning processes, where the influence of formal and informal institutions, the role of state and non-state actors, the nature of multilevel interactions and the relative importance of bureaucratic hierarchies, markets and networks are identified as major structural characteristics of governance regimes.

What is social learning

TL;DR: Social learning is increasingly becoming a normative goal in natural resource management and policy, but there remains little consensus over its meaning or theoretical basis as discussed by the authors. This lack of conceptual clarity has limited our capacity to assess whether social learning has occurred, and if so, what kind of learning has taken place, to what extent, between whom, when, and how.
