标题：Adaptive Water Governance: Assessing the Institutional Prescriptions of Adaptive (Co-)Management from a Governance Perspective and Defining a Research Agenda
摘要：This article assesses the institutional prescriptions of adaptive (co-)management based on aliterature review of the (water) governance literature. The adaptive (co-)management literature containsfour institutional prescriptions: collaboration in a polycentric governance system, public participation, anexperimental approach to resource management, and management at the bioregional scale. Theseprescriptions largely resonate with the theoretical and empirical insights embedded in the (water)governance literature. However, this literature also predicts various problems. In particular, attention iscalled to the complexities associated with participation and collaboration, the difficulty of experimentingin a real-world setting, and the politicized nature of discussion on governance at the bioregional scale. Weconclude this article by outlining a common research agenda that invites the collaborative efforts of adaptive(co-)management and governance scholars
