Abstract Details

1996, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology.
Social scientists and policy makers argue that inter-institutional collaboration among the public and private sectors is essential for effective management of natural resources. The problem is that organizations within each of these sectors have very little experience working together and sharing ideas, resources, and decision-making. This research utilized a qualitative case-study design to explore and describe the social organization and collaboration within the Yaque del Norte Watershed Management Project. Negotiated order theory and institutional theory were integrated to develop a model of collaboration that guided the study. data from in-country fieldwork indicate a lack of social organization and collaboration within the project. Contextual factors have impeded the emergence of inter-institutional collaboration. Recommendations of this study are to give greater emphasis and commitment of resources to developing a sense of community and ownership among the stakeholders participating in the project.
