Abstract: | With the renewed international emphasis on governance for sustainable development, political scientists wishing to have an
impact on global environmental problems will find significant opportunities to collaborate with practitioners. These collaborations
can be very rewarding, but academics should enter them with their eyes open to the associated challenges. Bridging the worlds
of research and practice entails tensions between what is true according to the research, and what is possible given the constraints
of specific organizations; between the problems that practitioners need solved and the puzzles that researchers find appealing;
and, importantly, between the divergent cultures that shape the expectations and incentives of academics and their counterparts. |
