Transcending Parallel Play: Boundary Spanning for Collective Action in Wildfire Management

A key challenge in the United States is how to manage wildfire risk across boundaries and scales, as roles, responsibilities, ability act are distributed among actors ways that do not always incentivize collective action. In this review paper, we provide several conceptual contributions understanding of management through application boundary spanning frameworks. This includes: (1) a characterization four major types managing risk; (2) features frameworks integrate them; (3) consideration current potential applications construct domain management. Our goal advance knowledge arena may overcome “parallel play” more collectively address risk. We generate new thinking about management, offer implications questions for future research, policy,
