The nexus approach, which integrates environmental management and governance, has not been widely implemented despite its potential. This article uses the 'street-level bureaucracy concept' to study the role of policymakers in a nexus project, based on interviews with international civil servants. Barriers and opportunities for adopting integrative thinking are identified, with factors influencing the process ranging from individual, organizational, contextual, and political factors to external actors. Individual factors are found to be the most significant, driven by implementation discretion, individual values, and norms. The article highlights the importance of perspective knowledge and a sound theoretical understanding of complex systems for improving adoption.
The nexus approach for sustainable management of natural resources combines environmental management and governance across sectors and scales. This approach, along with other inte-grative practices, has however seen limited uptake in practice despite its great promise. Drawing on the 'street-level bureaucracy concept', this article examines the role of policymakers in a nexus project, using interviews with international civil servants on a natural resource use team. Barriers and opportunities for the adoption of integrative thinking are identified, and factors influencing the nexus process are found to range from individual, organizational, contextual, and political factors to external actors. The most prominent factor is found to be individual factors, mainly due to discretion during implementation and individual values and norms. Solutions to improve adoption will vary depending on the operational environment and the article highlights the importance of perspective knowledge and a sound theoretical understanding of complex systems involved.
