Power relationships, access and control, (in)equity, and (in)justice are key modulators of conflicts arising from ecosystem services between multiple stakeholders. A greater knowledge of stakeholder value systems and behaviors is crucial for understanding socioecological dynamics. We propose an analytical framework that combines political ecology and game theory to analyze water ecosystem services. This integrated framework was used to reinterpret concepts such as common goods, (a)symmetric flows, and (un)fair trade-offs in the context of ecosystem services. The purpose was to gain a better understanding of behaviors and (a)symmetries in power relationships between multiple stakeholders. We studied the case of a north-western Mediterranean river basin using data obtained from stakeholder interviews and newspaper articles. Our findings uncovered different types of stakeholder relationships, ranging from mutual support and cooperation to conflict. The proposed analytical framework shows how social mechanisms can affect ecosystem services flows, potentially facilitating or hindering the development of more equitable management models for natural resources.

权力关系、获取与控制、（不）公平以及（不）公正，是多个利益相关者之间因生态系统服务而产生冲突的关键调节因素。深入了解利益相关者的价值体系和行为对于理解社会生态动态至关重要。我们提出了一个将政治生态学和博弈论相结合的分析框架，以分析水生态系统服务。这个综合框架被用于在生态系统服务的背景下重新诠释诸如公共物品、（非）对称流动以及（不）公平权衡等概念。目的是更好地理解多个利益相关者之间权力关系中的行为和（非）对称性。我们利用从利益相关者访谈和报纸文章中获取的数据，研究了地中海西北部一个流域的案例。我们的研究结果揭示了不同类型的利益相关者关系，从相互支持与合作到冲突。所提出的分析框架展示了社会机制如何影响生态系统服务流动，可能促进或阻碍更公平的自然资源管理模式的发展。
