Constructing cooperation

Description:

Constructing Cooperation is the study of a regulatory regime in which 20 Pacific Northwest Indian tribes comanage a large, biologically complex, and highly valuable salmon fishery together with state, federal, and international regulatory agencies. Using insights from cultural anthropology, institutional economics, and political science, Sara Singleton analyzes how these disparate groups both succeed and fail in designing institutions that allow them to utilize their particular areas of knowledge and expertise, and to coordinate their shared and competing objectives in managing this important trans-boundary resource.
