Rural community participation in scientific knowledge production processes has become a central component of research and development policy and practice internationally. However, relatively little is known about the factors that influence the development of successful research partnerships in the applied natural sciences, as well as their associated outcomes. This paper presents an in-depth case study of a successful community-researcher natural resource science partnership in the Canadian Arctic. The results suggest both context and process-related factors were important to the research partnership, including funding and performance assessment processes, leadership and capacity at the community level, the proposal...

Internationally, the institutions created to address forest management have ranged from hard laws, put in place by governments through legislation, to soft laws such as forest certification. Each of these approaches requires enforcement and evaluation through monitoring and information reporting. Monitoring is central to a jurisdiction's understanding of the resources that it manages and the values that it aims to protect. It is also an essential component of adaptive management. Monitoring and information reporting for sustainable forest management (SFM) in selected jurisdictions in North America and Europe were investigated through applied grounded theory, multiple case studies and survey analysis methods. The...
