Abstract

Sustainability governance in polycentric systems needs to ensure both effectiveness and procedural justice. Effectiveness and procedural justice are intricately linked to power dynamics in governance. To assess polycentric sustainability governance, understanding different types, sources, and effects of power is key. Here, we investigate network‐derived bonding and bridging social capital of actors as specific sources of power in polycentric sustainability governance. We ask two questions: How does bridging and bonding social capital translate into power? And: How is the power associated with satisfaction with inclusion? We relate levels of bonding and bridging social capital to power and satisfaction with inclusion in governance processes for 299 actors in 10 cases of Swiss wetlands governance. Using a Bayesian multi‐level regression model, we find that especially bonding social capital is a source of power for actors. Further, network‐derived power but also nonnetwork‐derived power by design translates into satisfaction with inclusion. Research and practice of sustainability governance need to be careful to account for power in nuanced ways, acknowledging its sources and relation to procedural justice.

谁对自己被纳入多中心可持续治理感到满意?瑞士湿地的网络、权力和程序正义

多中心系统中的可持续性治理需要确保有效性和程序公正。有效性和程序正义与治理中的权力动态有着错综复杂的联系。要评估多中心可持续性治理，了解权力的不同类型、来源和影响是关键。在这里，我们研究了网络衍生的纽带和桥梁社会资本作为多中心可持续治理的具体权力来源。我们提出了两个问题:桥接和结合社会资本如何转化为权力?以及:权力是如何与满意度和包容性联系在一起的?我们在瑞士湿地治理的10个案例中，对299个参与者的治理过程中，将联系和桥梁社会资本与权力和满意度的水平联系起来。运用贝叶斯多层次回归模型，我们发现，尤其是结合社会资本是行为者的权力来源。此外，网络衍生的权力和非网络衍生的权力通过设计转化为对包容的满意度。可持续治理的研究和实践需要谨慎地以细致入微的方式解释权力，承认其来源及其与程序正义的关系。

期刊介绍： As the principal outlet for the Public Policy Section of the American Political Science Association and for the Policy Studies Organization (PSO), the Policy Studies Journal (PSJ) is the premier channel for the publication of public policy research. PSJ is best characterized as an outlet for theoretically and empirically grounded research on policy process and policy analysis. More specifically, we aim to publish articles that advance public policy theory, explicitly articulate its methods of data collection and analysis, and provide clear descriptions of how their work advances the literature.
