Title
Social Network Analysis: Insights and Applications for Collaborative Governance and Natural Resource Management

Abstract
Effectively governing natural resources remains a fundamental and enduring challenge. Untangling the numerous social-ecological interdependencies in the context of management has proved difficult, and understanding how different patterns of connections affect management outcomes is poorly understood. A network perspective offers one promising approach to address this fundamental gap. Previous in-depth research in three marine reserves in Jamaica provides the empirical foundation. Through a series of four related studies I will illustrate how an interdisciplinary and integrated approach that leverages a suite of network analysis and modeling methods provides key insights into network structures, interactions, and interdependencies that may enhance and inhibit effective natural resource management in Jamaica.
