Co-management acknowledges pragmatic developments and progression of institutional choice theories in natural resource management. This innovative concept embraces a pluralistic management approach based on the principle of subsidiarity and creates opportunities for the reconciliation of competitive property claims. This article reviews definitions of co-management, distinguishes it from other property rights regimes, and develops an organizational structure of the major elements involved. Synthesis of both experiences and literature leads to the development of a conceptual framework. Co-management is structured in terms of context, components, and linking mechanisms. In concert, these elements offer insight into the practice of co-management, address the shortcomings of institutional theories, and respond to critical issues raised in related literature. The framework contributes to natural resource management by acting as a means of identification and evaluation for such arrangements, as well as a systematic guide for future inquiries.
共同管理认可自然资源管理中制度选择理论的务实发展与演进。这一创新概念采用基于辅助性原则的多元管理方法,并为协调相互竞争的产权主张创造机会。本文回顾了共同管理的定义,将其与其他产权制度区分开来,并构建了所涉主要要素的组织结构。对经验与文献的综合分析促成了一个概念框架的形成。共同管理在背景、组成部分及连接机制方面具有结构性。这些要素协同作用,为共同管理的实践提供了洞见,弥补了制度理论的不足,并回应了相关文献中提出的关键问题。该框架通过充当此类安排的识别与评估手段以及未来研究的系统指南,为自然资源管理做出贡献。
