Nested governance

Variable relationship:: Ostrom (1990) and others argue that nestedness (Multiple Levels) allows management systems to be scaled appropriately for the problems they are aiming to solve, while simultaneously providing institutional diversity and redundancy, ideally enabling a governance system to benefit from the comparative advantages of both relatively centralized and decentralized institutional arrangements, and contributing to successful management outcomes (Commons Condition Trend).
