“My research is focused on how diverse institutional arrangements respond to disturbances in different ways, and why some are successful in some areas and not in others. What makes some governance arrangements sustainable while others collapse? I am interested in cooperation across borders and across spatial scales which matches closely with the themes and interests of other researchers here.”
