摘要：Collaborative and adaptive approaches to environmental management have captured theattention of administrators, resource users, and scholars. Adaptive co-management builds upon theseapproaches to create a novel governance strategy. This paper investigates the dynamics of the adaptive co-management process and the variables that influence it. The investigation begins by summarizing analyticaland causal models relevant to the adaptive co-management process. Variables that influence this processare then synthesized from diverse literatures, categorized as being exogenous or endogenous, and developedinto respective analytical frameworks. In identifying commonalities among models of the adaptive co-management process and discerning influential variables, this paper provides initial insights intounderstanding the dynamic social process of adaptive co-management. From these insights conjectures forfuture inquires are offered in the conclusion
