Rules for success in environmental negotiation
- National Biological Service, Fort Collins, CO (United States)
Scientists at the Mid-Continent Ecological Science Center of the National Biological Service conducted a series of case studies of FERC license consultations. The goal of these studies was to test hypotheses about factors that contribute to success in interagency negotiations. Based on their analysis of six case studies, the researchers constructed a list of ten rules for success. Examples include: (1) analyze the incentives of each party to negotiate, (2) paying special attention to parties who gain by not negotiating, (3) clarifying the technical issues so that all parties and that they coincide with resource management objectives, and (4) making sure that the final agreement is feasible from both a physical and a policy perspective so that it can actually be implemented.
