Enablers and Barriers of Non-Native Species Governance in Antarctica

A qualitative research paper analyzes the governance and management of non-native plant species in Antarctica. The work is based on fifteen semi-structured expert interviews and reflexive thematic analysis, identifying key enablers and barriers. It was authored by Ondrej Gomola and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing multi-level governance frameworks for environmental protection based on the described policy context.
• Identifying barriers to policy implementation based on reported differences in countries' engagement and capacity.
• Studying information-sharing gaps in non-native species management based on the reported inconsistency in management responses.

Strengths

• Based on fifteen semi-structured expert interviews, providing primary qualitative data.
• Explicitly analyzes three broad categories of enablers and barriers for detailed policy insight.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse.

Limitations

• The data is contained within a 141.5 KB PDF file, representing a very limited textual scope.
• The underlying interview data (e.g., transcripts) is not provided as a separate structured dataset.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the published paper.
