dc.description.abstract
Processes of transformation, aimed at adaptation of environmental change, are
often initiated in informal arenas where forerunners meet and breed. In order
to connect such transformations to the existing socio-political context an
adequate form of environmental governance is needed. This implies a key role
for public decision-makers as gate keepers that can link an innovative policy
proposal to the existing complexities of the government context in which
social barriers, democratic obligations and the representation of existing
routines that might be challenged by this innovation. This paper will focus on
a radical change in the water management strategies of the South western delta
area and specifically the resalinization of the Volkerak-Zoommeer. In the
light of ecological rehabilitation and safety from possible flooding the need
to restore this artificially maintained fresh water basin to its former state
and allow influence of marine dynamics has been articulated. These adaptations
provide several challenges for finding alternatives for the supply and use of
fresh water to existing agriculture and industry. The role of local political
leadership in the process of combining and synchronizing existing routines
with innovations that require a change of these routines is regarded as
essential. These connective capacities of leadership are subject to various
influencing factors such as personal characteristics, the local and supra-
local environment and institutional arrangements. Theoretically we distinguish
leadership behavior in transactional, daring and transformational typologies.
It would be hypothesized that daring leadership, which we conceptualize as a
combination between transactional and transformational repertoires is most
suitable for the successful coupling of innovative proposals with existing
routines. Through empirical case study, the paper will explore key
motivational elements resulting in specific leadership behavior as well as the
ensuing possibilities for successful integration of the innovative proposals
into existing policy.
