A case study of a collaborative governance process is presented and analyzed using the power framework. Implications for the design of collaborative governance processes are discussed, including the benefits of a multidimensional definition of power, tools formanaging power imbalances among participants, and strategies that participants can use to participate more fully in collaborative governance processes. - Reproduced.
