Incentive-based Approaches to Sustainable Fisheries (2006, background): “These actions are facilitated by social capital within communities and by trust between management authorities and fishers (Pretty 2003; Grafton 2005), but social capital does not necessarily require the existence of individual or group harvesting rights (Dietz et al. 2003).”
Navigating the Back Loop: Fostering Social Innovation and Transformation in Ecosystem Management (2010, background): “There is growing agreement that ecosystem management, at multiple interlinked levels, needs to be transformed to more adaptive, integrated, collaborative approaches to improve environmental and social outcomes (Berkes et al. 2003, Dietz et al. 2003, Folke et al. 2005).”
Transformative social innovation for sustainable rural development: An analytical framework to assist community-based initiatives (2020, background): “Drawing on Dietz et al. (2003), Cha ﬃ n et al. (2014, p.7) pointed out that an optimal adaptive governance system “ requires a structure of nested institutions (complex, redundant, and layered) and institutional diversity (a mixture of market, state, and community organizations) at the local,…”
The Political Economy of Cross-Scale Networks in Resource Co- Management (2005, background): “Many ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration functions, the maintenance of the world's stock of genetic biological resources, and shared water resources are all portrayed as public goods with a value to global society (Dietz et al. 2003).”
Challenges and growth: the development of the interdisciplinary field of institutional analysis (2007, background): “No type of governance system has been shown to be successful in all implementations (Dietz, Ostrom, and Stern, 2003; E. Ostrom and Nagendra, 2006).”
The challenge of understanding decisions in experimental studies of common pool resource governance (2011, methodology): “without the external imposition of private or state ownership or the use of taxes as suggested by these simple models (e.g. NRC, 1986; Ostrom et al., 2002; Dietz et al., 2003).”
Inequity aversion improves cooperation in intertemporal social dilemmas (2018, background): “This poses a puzzle since humans evidently do find ways to cooperate in many everyday intertemporal social dilemmas, as documented by decades of fieldwork [3, 4] and laboratory experiments [5, 6].”
Analyzing decentralized resource regimes from a polycentric perspective (2008, background): “Hence, the effective management of these resources remains one of the most difficult tasks facing modern public policy ( Dietz et al. 2003 ).”
Small islands, valuable insights: systems of customary resource use and resilience to climate change in the Pacific (2014, background): “…respected leaders (whether they are influential elders or college graduates) that encourage self-organization (Ostrom 2009), social networks and governance based in ILK (Adger 2003, Ford et al. 2008, Prno et al. 2011), and institutional diversity (Adger 2003, Dietz et al. 2003, Ostrom 2009; Fig.”
RESILIENCE: THE EMERGENCE OF A PERSPECTIVE FOR SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ANALYSES (2006, background): “It will require adaptive forms of governance (Dietz et al., 2003; Folke et al., 2005).”
Design principles for global commons: Natural resources and emerging technologies (2011, background): “In 2000, the U.S. National Research Council’s Committee on the Human Dimensions of Global Change took up this question in some detail, leading to the volume The Drama of the Commons (National Research Council 2002) and further synthetic work (Stern et al. 2002; Dietz et al. 2003).”
