Social constructivism and capacity building for environmental governance
The concept of capacity building for environmental protection and management refers to the process by which the abilities of societies to identify and solve environmental problems are developed. This work assumes a social constructivist perspective to the process of capacity building for environmental governance and thus depicts it as critically dependent on broader processes of political and socioeconomic modernization. In an attempt to depict such a process, a heuristic device is put forward as a model of capacity analysis. A theoretical discourse and new institutionalist perspectives are used to test such a model on a theoretical plane. Some preliminary conclusions are drawn from this theoretical exercise.
