This chapter focuses on environmental management problem. Choosing one or more of the models as the accurate and reliable description of the environmental management problem would have been unfounded, because it would have implied that the rest of the expert models were somehow inferior to the chosen ones. It would also have been unwise, because it would just have polarized the already charged debate. If any intelligence is to be extracted from all this contradictory expert knowledge, it must be the result of an understanding of both the differences of thinking among several experts and the cognitive dissonances of individual experts. The range of options available for policy makers to tackle a complex environmental problem is limited by their shared knowledge of the problem. When the knowledge is shared by a significant number of individuals over time, it becomes an institution, which both reinforces and is reinforced by the knowledge of individuals. The feedback between the mental models of decision makers and the institutions of environmental management is a tricky process.
