Event Details

How has the concept of institutional bricolage been employed to understand environmental governance in practice? How does it illuminate the exercise of power in natural resource management and the potential for just and sustainable outcomes?

Prof Frances Cleaver, Professor of Political Ecology at Lancaster Environment Centre, defines institutional bricolage as 'a process by which people consciously and unconsciously draw on existing social and cultural arrangements to shape institutions in response to changing situations' (Cleaver, 2001). In this seminar she will develop this approach focussing in particular on meaning, technologies and scale.

The Chair for the session is Professor Gordon Walker, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University.
