DESCRIPTION:The "collaborative turn" in environmental policy has been a ma
 jor theme in the United States over the past two decades.  Collaboration a
 nd stakeholder participation are seen as important ways to address environ
 mental issues\, such as water pollution\, that cross existing government b
 oundaries.  Along with changes in policy and management have come research
  studies focusing on these phenomena.  This presentation discusses the evo
 lution of social science research on collaborative watershed management (C
 WM) in the U.S.  Scholars have developed multiple streams of inquiry stemm
 ing from basic questions about how CWM effort operate and what they accomp
 lish\, who participates and why\, the impacts of collaboration on individu
 als and communities\, and links to natural science and multiple scales.  F
 indings suggest important areas for future research.\n
