Recent empirical studies suggest that polycentric governance systems may be more likely than monocentric or centralized governance to exhibit enhanced adaptive capacity and therewith lead to better environmental and social outcomes.
“Recent empirical studies suggest, however, that polycentric governance systems may be more likely than monocentric or centralized governance to exhibit enhanced adaptive capacity and therewith lead to better environmental and social outcomes (see Pahl-Wostl & Knieper, 2014; PahlWostl et al., 2012).”

Polycentric approaches can be more effective than either centralized or decentralized governance approaches.
“Recent scholarship demonstrates that polycentric approaches can be more effective than either centralized or decentralized governance approaches (e.g., Pahl-Wostl & Knieper, 2014)”

Empirical support for polycentricity is limited and conflicting.
“However, this theoretical development of polycentricity has limited and conflicting empirical support.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
