Andrea Gerlak's research interests are in the fields of public policy, institutional theory, natural resource management, and water governance. Broadly speaking, her work investigates water management and policy at multiple scales and across diverse settings. Her research addresses conditions supporting collective action, the interface between science and policy, and institutional change and adaptability in large-scale ecosystem settings in the United States. In international transboundary settings, she studies the role of intergovernmental organizations in cooperative institutional arrangements and scientific knowledge and information sharing in global water governance.

As a researcher, my main interests lie in finding out how institutions can be used to prevent collective action dilemmas. In a nutshell, collective action dilemmas occur whenever the self-interested, individualistic behavior of social actors leads to results that are not optimal for society as a whole. Primarily, my research agenda focuses on understanding how collective action dilemmas can be prevented or solved when actors use common-pool resources (resources to which almost everyone can have free access to). Go to the Water Governance Project for more information about ongoing research.
