Governance in social-ecological agent-based models: a review

Analyzing governance is particularly important for understanding and managing social-ecological systems (SES). Governance systems influence interactions between actors and the ecological system and are in turn influenced by the changes that occur in the actors' and ecological systems. Agent-bas...
