摘要:Panarchy provides a heuristic to characterize the cross-scale dynamics of social-ecological systems and aframework for how governance institutions should behave to be compatible with the ecosystems they manage. Managing forresilience will likely require reform of law to account for the dynamics of social-ecological systems and achieve a substantivemandate that accommodates the need for adaptation. In this paper, we suggest expansive legal reform by identifying the principlesof reflexive law as a possible mechanism for achieving a shift to resilience-based governance and leveraging cross-scale dynamicsto provide resilience-based responses to increasingly challenging environmental conditions
