The Rhetoric behind Regionalization in Australian Natural Resource Management: Myth, Reality and Moving Forward

چکیده
Natural resource management is increasingly focusing on the benefits of regional planning and management.

Such approaches have evolved in parallel across sectors, as governments pursue better policy delivery and programme implementation. This paper explores the rhetoric behind current interests in regional delivery and suggests other institutional means of achieving the objectives behind the rhetoric.
