Biography
Graham's research is concerned primarily with the institutional economics of governing social-ecological systems. A particular focus is on how community-based, polycentric governance systems influence the self-reliance of landholders in managing such systems. He is author of the influential book Economics for Collaborative Environmental Management: Renegotiating the Commons where he developed a framework for assessing the adaptive efficiency of policy and institutional options for such management. An emerging focus of his research is on the institutional economics of strengthening rural livelihoods in developing countries by promoting innovation in livestock value chains.
