Periodic Reporting for period 1 - COMOVE (Exploring the impact of social mobilization on cooperation in community-based natural resource management systems: Insights from water conflicts in Spain and Mexico)
Berichtszeitraum: 2016-09-01 bis 2018-08-31
COMOVE had three objectives
1. Conduct preliminary empirical research to explore the extent to which movements’ activities and membership vary across environmental and governance contexts.
2. Conduct empirical research to explore causal relationships between environmental movements’ activities and membership and community-based natural resource management (CBNRM).
3. Build a new and original model that integrates social mobilization and cooperation factors to understand CBNRM.
