Abstract: | This commentary reports on a project to explore and evaluate options for Great Lakes governance renewal in anticipation of
the 2006–2007 review of the Canada–US Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA). The research included expert interviews
and scholarly analysis of governance regimes in 2006, leading to a Great Lakes St. Lawrence River Governance Expert Workshop
held in June 2007 (Krantzberg et al. 2007). The two authors have been participants and at times leaders in the institutions this commentary addresses, Krantzberg with
the International Joint Commission and Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Manno with the New York Great Lakes Research
Consortium and Great Lakes United. Our familiarity with the topic and many of the people involved was helpful in gaining participation
and is in itself a rich source of knowledge and experience. In discussing a topic of contemporary controversy, it also understandably
can make readers question the objectivity of our assessment. We are also trained in social science scholarship and have taken
precautions against biasing the outcomes. This is not intended to be merely a presentation of data. We believe our experience
is a net asset in addressing these questions but we leave it to the interested reader to review the reports referenced herein
and judge for themselves whether our findings are fairly presented. |
