Summary

This chapter builds on previous research with an emphasis on collaboration’s theoretical and empirical foundations. Whereas the chapter opens with a broad introduction to collaboration, the chapter also addresses collaboration scholarship that explicates watershed governance and water quality outcomes. Watersheds, as we argue in the chapter, are best understood as complex adaptive systems. These arrangements, as noted in previous scholarship, do not necessarily lend themselves to conventional or traditional regulatory approaches, and thus call for alternatives such as collaboration. As such, the chapter notes the emergence of collaboration as a response to regulatory gaps, agenda setting, collective action dilemmas, uncertainty, and fragmented institutional arrangements. The chapter then presents an explanatory model that includes the roles of external influences, ecological and civic context, stakeholder characteristics, legitimacy, and operational activities play in unpacking revealed and perceived water quality as well as social outcomes.
