Objective
The project aims to establish the applicant an international expert and leader on the theory of socio-natural co-evolution and its application to water resource studies. Training will consist of selected courses' attendance, tutoring and joint research work with the originator of the theory, Pr R. Norgaard, at UCB. Complementary skills' training will be provided in qualitative social research methods, writing for publications and teaching. The applicant will also increase his international expertise on water policy working on the case of California, benefiting from access to the California Water Resources Archives and the several relevant colloquia at UCB.
Research during the fellowship will work on improving the theory of socio-natural co-evolution, develop a conceptual co-evolutionary model for the analysis of complex water management systems and apply it on two diverse empirical cases. The policy implications of a co-evolutionary perspective will be sought and linked to on-going debates on EU water policy. Knowledge acquired in the outgoing period will be re-integrated in DPRD/UTHES through the development of a related long-term research programme and group, and the establishment of related advanced courses. This will contribute to the upgrading of research and curriculum in a vibrant yet new department, in a less favoured EU region.
The project is the first stage in a longer-term collaboration between the two host institutes including plans for a regular exchange of students, researchers and teaching staff as well as development of a joint research programme on co-evolution. The project will be integrated in relevant European research consortiums and it will contribute to the development of a network of excellence on co-evolutionary natural resource studies, thus promoting scientific excellence in the European Research Area
