Research Interests

As interlinked interests and influences of state, market, and civil society generate dynamically evolving governance paradigms, the debates about marine protected area (MPA) governance are shifting towards inclusive philosophies that creatively combine different steering roles. China's MPAs face an enormous challenge of balancing development with conservation.

The balance between a uniform political system and effective governance, and the compromise between bureaucracy and state power runs through the entire governance process.

Based on the concept of multi-level co-evolutionary governance, I will apply Jones’ MPA governance framework to four case studies, analysing the diverging perspectives between different actor constituencies on effectiveness and equity of MPA governance, as well as ‘lessons learned’ and their future implications.
