Lubell. (2004). "Collaborative Watershed Management: A View from the Grassroots"
What affects policy effectiveness?
1.) economic considerations
2.) social capital
What is the role of grassroots stakeholders in the development of social capital? "Cooperation entails a behavioral component of participation in a collaborative partnership or other watershed management activity and attitudinal support for a particular set of policies. Cooperative attitudes and behaviors are both necessary, but no sufficient, to produce cooperation in the context of of collaborative management" (355).
"...to the extent the governance institutuins of the Suwannee Partnership and the concept of Best Management Practices is consistent with farmers' core beliefs, they should view the BMP program as effective" (346).
Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF)
Under the ACF our belief system is consistent with a range of social values. "The AFC, drawing from theories of social cognition, argues that people tend to discount information about an attitude object that is inconsistent with their core beliefs, and accept information that is consistent with their core beliefs" (346). Fundamental social values are of the most importance because they are what affect our perceptions of everything else. The two most prominent views of the environment are that either 1.) the extent to which people value environmental amenities and 2.) human activities threaten environmental values.
Findings:
Farmer's actions are driven largely by reciprocity from other farmers, and trust in governments.
