  • The challenge of learning for sustainability: A prolegomenon to theory
    Henry, A. D. (2009)
    Recognizing that learning to manage complex problems in sustainability science is a vital and challenging process, this article critically evaluates the current paradigm for learning in the development and sustainability science context. It is argued that current approaches are too narrowly focused on mechanisms and information. Thus, the article sets forth an initial framework for restructuring how we think about the learning process. This includes internal belief systems, understanding how social networks and knowledge shape one another, and appreciating the contribution of individual experience to the learning process.
  • Context and the commons
    Dietz, T.; Henry, A. D. (2008)
    This brief article summarizes some of the main concerns and strengths of common property management in the context of forest governance. Based on a number of studies, the authors argue that a transition is occurring in how we study common property management from an emphasis on the individualistic, rational actor approaches to ones that emphasize the role of context to allow for greater variability in common property management schemes. Context is defined as local institutions for enforcement, regional landscape and social networks.
