Collective action and conservation of identities

Seminar with François Bousquet (CIRAD), 12 June 2012.

For the last twenty years, CIRAD has promoted dialogues between stakeholders with different perspectives on a common good or a shared problem. The centre has developed tools and methodologies to allow a mutual understanding of perspectives. The approach usually creates an "interaction arena" and provides the participants an artifact (a case study to analyze, a simulation model, a game, a map etc.), which can be used to provide a shared understanding.

In this seminar, Bousquet will introduce this approach and its theoretical roots. Using the example of water management in a Bhutanese watershed and dialogues among scholars with different perspectives on social-ecological systems, Bousquet will demonstrate how stakeholders may have a common set of models of change, but end up with a different perspective on how to articulate these changes.
