In this dissertation, I analyze regional environmental governance as a complex adaptive process, in which patterns of interactions among individual actors influence the performance of collaborative policy forums, which in turn shape environmental outcomes. One source of complexity is the diversity of actors, including governmental bodies, research centers, civil society organizations, and international non-governmental organizations, among others, involved in these forums, which may include task forces, steering committees, or other settings in which actors collectively engage in environmental policy decision-making. Complexity also relates to forums' overlapping mandates, jurisdictions, and participants. For environmental governance scholars, this complexity defies efforts to study governance outcomes by focusing on the dynamics that characterize single policy forums. Instead, understanding the structure and function of these governance systems requires an appreciation of multiple layers of interactions among actors that are also participating across one or more policy forums. From a complex adaptive systems perspective, these localized interactions generate the "macro-level" policy outputs and governance outcomes that are of greatest interest to policy actors themselves and other stakeholders.

520 $a In this dissertation, I analyze regional environmental governance as a complex adaptive process, in which patterns of interactions among individual actors influence the performance of collaborative policy forums, which in turn shape environmental outcomes. One source of complexity is the diversity of actors, including governmental bodies, research centers, civil society organizations, and international non-governmental organizations, among others, involved in these forums, which may include task forces, steering committees, or other settings in which actors collectively engage in environmental policy decision-making. Complexity also relates to forums' overlapping mandates, jurisdictions, and participants. For environmental governance scholars, this complexity defies efforts to study governance outcomes by focusing on the dynamics that characterize single policy forums. Instead, understanding the structure and function of these governance systems requires an appreciation of multiple layers of interactions among actors that are also participating across one or more policy forums. From a complex adaptive systems perspective, these localized interactions generate the "macro-level" policy outputs and governance outcomes that are of greatest interest to policy actors themselves and other stakeholders.
520 $a The empirical setting for this research is climate change adaptation governance in the Lake Victoria region, East Africa, which features numerous and diverse coordination and cooperation challenges. I analyze the conditions under which actors collaborate to address these challenges and find that collaboration is more likely when actors jointly participate in policy forums, but that the likelihood of collaboration decreases in forums at higher levels. I also investigate factors associated with the propensity of actors to participate in adaptation policy forums above or below their respective levels and demonstrate that actors tend to avoid such "cross-level" linkages. However, I also show how certain patterns of interactions exert a strong effect on actors' tendencies to engage in cross-level linkages. Such structural patterns also predict actors' assessments of the performance of the policy forums in which they participate. Knowledge of the drivers and consequences of interactions among actors and forums may empower adaptation policy-makers and other stakeholders to more effectively navigate complex governance systems while contributing to societal goals.
