• Addressing environmental governance challenges necessitates collaboration among diverse societal actors to collectively develop and modify rules, norms, and social structures. A significant obstacle in environmental governance lies in the problems of institutional fit, where the existing governance arrangements may be mismatched with the specific social-ecological conditions at the local level. This misalignment poses a hurdle to effective and sustainable environmental management. Collective action’s theoretical lens is used in this study to navigate the varied interests, goals, and perspectives involved, aiming to comprehend the different factors influencing collaboration in the management of shared resources. Recognizing that collective action is inherently difficult, this dissertation focuses on the importance of deliberation to facilitate discussions on the risks, benefits, values, and capacities of different actors.
