Comment on Ostrom and Cox paper: "Moving beyond panaceas: a multitiered diagnostic approach for social-ecological analysis" - looking beyond the right institutional fit by Clement, Floriane

“…They highlight three major reasons why panaceas have persisted in the history of natural resource management: one is the disciplinary divide between social and natural scientists; the second is the limited set of methods used by social scientists; lastly, scientists have often narrowly focused on a single scale and level of analysis. Those limitations have contributed to partial and flawed understandings of complex social-ecological systems (SES) and ultimately resulted in simplified and inaccurate theories and models. …”
