Scholarship

The Center for Collaborative Policy’s new research report on water governance, “Collaborative Versus Technocratic Policymaking: California’s Statewide Water Plan,” juxtaposes the 2005 planning process of a stakeholder-driven effort facilitated by Sacramento State mediators with a 1998 plan produced by a more traditional agency-driven process. The report may be downloaded at www.csus.edu/ccp/.

Angus Wright, Environmental Studies emeritus, had his article, “Is a Better World Possible? The Experience of the Brazilian Environmental Movement and the ‘The Construction of Citizenship',” included in Global Environmental Challenges: Perspectives from the South. Broadview Press published the book last month.
