NSF Grant SES-0519459 (2006-2007)
The proposed research investigates the impact of policy
network structure on the cooperative behavior of policy
participants, focusing specifically on cooperative behavior
among participants in joint projects undertaken by two or
more government agencies and related constituencies. So
far, the research team has collected data in the years 2006
and 2007 in the geographical area of Florida under the jurisdiction
of the South West Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).

This proposed research develops an “ecology of games” framework to understand how political actors
in complex policy systems interact with each other, and how these interactions affect the potential
outcomes of collective-action dilemmas. We will study the ecology of games in the context of environmental
policy, in particular water management in coastal watersheds or estuaries. Watersheds provide an excellent
research setting because they encompass multiple collective-action problems (e.g., flood control, water
supply, water quality, and biodiversity), many different actors have a stake in the resolution of these
problems (e.g., landowners, environmental groups, utility companies), and multiple venues generally have
jurisdiction over the issues (e.g., environmental planning, regulations, partnerships). Our ultimate aim
is to understand the factors most critical in affecting policy decisions and behaviors in complex
institutional settings.
