Conference: Governance of Natural Resources in a Multi-Level Context

19 - 22 January 2010; Leipzig, Germany

Conference Topics
  • Information flows and formats in decision making
  • Differing legitimacy across levels and sectors
  • Relationship between experts, public and institutional decision-makers
  • Distribution of costs in decision making
  • Evaluation of policy instruments and participatory processes
  • Participatory methods in multi-level conflict management
  • Drawing lessons from successful and failed participation cases
