Zhuzha, D. Yu. Global Governance of Natural Resources: Theoretical and Methodological concepts

Abstract: The socio-political, cross-scale problems of resource management affect and depend on the institutionalization of the decision making at local, regional, national and transnational levels. The most suitable recipe for solving problems of natural resource management is to develop mechanisms of control, divided by levels of social and institutional aggregation. Such control mechanisms will contribute to the development of trade-offs, social learning and creating a more transparent and representative of informal decision-making mechanisms. Increasingly, in the process of formation mechanisms of natural resource management involves non-state actors: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), transnational corporations, international organizations and the academic community. New actors are a source of introduction of innovative tools and mechanisms of regulation by promoting the positive trends in the power relations in the political arena.
