An example from Palau, an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean composed of more than five hundred small islands with 20,000 inhabitants, shows the influence of foreign ideologies at the national/local level. While the primary motivation to establish a national network of protected areas was to achieve ecological connectivity, the second was to report progress to the CBD. In one of the interviewees’ accounts, by reporting progress, Palau would gain more reputation and consequently more access to funding (Gruby and Basurto, 2014).
These observations are consistent with the coordination effects proposed by Arthur (1984). The coordination effects appear to be an important condition for the dissemination of foreign ideologies on conservation worldwide. One possible condition giving rise to these mechanisms is social interpretation. Political actors (indi- viduals working with conservation policy making) build one interpretation of the situation and share this view with their peers. Confirming information is taken and disconfirming information is dismissed (Pierson, 2004). Together, all these conditions and mechanisms reinforce conservation strategies to internationally remain on the same path and continue to be translated to local realities in a path-dependent way.
