Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Charalabidis, Y. (author), Zuiderwijk, A.M.G. (author)Although a significant number of public organizations have embraced the idea of open data, many are still reluctant to do this.

Mostert, E. (author)One of the central tenets of adaptive management is polycentric governance. Yet, despite the popularity of the concept, few detailed case studies of polycentric governance systems exist. In this paper, we aim to partly fill this gap. We describe water management between the years 1000 and 1953 on the Dutch island of IJsselmonde in the...journal article 2012

Gottlieb, S.C. (author), Jensen, J.S.
