“…Attention to historical institutional context would help scholars avoid reifying and further replicating the apparent “naturalness” of resource fragmentation, which may require applying historical methods and analysis (de Moor et al. ; Laborda‐Pemán & de Moor ). Finally, commons scholarship likely exhibits path dependency.…”

Wildlife hunting is essential to livelihoods and food security in many parts of the world, yet present rates of extraction may threaten ecosystems and human communities. Thus, governing sustainable wildlife use is a major social dilemma and conservation challenge. Commons scholarship is well positioned to contribute theoretical insights and analytic tools to better understand the interface of social and ecological dimensions of wildlife governance, yet the intersection of wildlife studies and commons scholarship is not well studied. We reviewed existing wildlife-hunting scholarship, drawing on a database of 1,410 references, to examine the current overlap with commons scholarship through multiple methods, including social network analysis and deductive coding. We found that a very small proportion of wildlife scholarship incorporated commons theories and frameworks. The social network of wildlife scholarship was densely interconnected with several major publication clusters, whereas the wildlife commons scholarship was sparse and isolated. Despite the overarching gap between wildlife and commons scholarship, a few scholars are studying wildlife commons. The small body of scholarship that bridges these disconnected literatures provides valuable insights into the understudied relational dimensions of wildlife and other overlapping common-pool resources. We suggest increased engagement among wildlife and commons scholars and practitioners to improve the state of knowledge and practice of wildlife governance across regions, particularly for bushmeat hunting in the tropics, which is presently understudied through a common-pool resource lens. Our case study of the Republic of Congo showed how the historical context and interrelationships between hunting and forest rights are essential to understanding the current state of wildlife governance and potential for future interventions. A better understanding of the interconnections between wildlife and overlapping common-pool resource systems may be key to understanding present wildlife governance challenges and advancing the common-pool resource research agenda.

“…A kelet-közép-európai térséget vizsgáló empirikus irodalom összességében szkeptikus a helyi gazdasági célú önszerveződések sikerének lehetőségeit illetően (Theesfeld 2004, Baranyai et al 2014, Laborda-Pemán-de Moor 2016, Tregear-Török-Gorton 2016. Ugyanakkor a hazai szociológiai irodalom jónéhány olyan példát azonosított, amikor termelői csoportok képesek voltak megszerveződni egy-egy helyi élelmiszer vagy turisztikai szolgáltatás kollektív előállítása vagy promóciója érdekében (Kelemen-Kovách-Megyesi 2007, Megyesi-Kelemen-Schermer 2011, Csurgó 2014, Csurgó-Megyesi 2015.…”

Milyen szerepet játszanak a magyar bortermelők helyi szerveződéseiben az intézményi vállalkozók, akik erőforrásaikat a kollektív cselekvést támogató, innovatív játékszabályok létrehozására használják fel? Négy olyan közösséget vizsgálunk meg részletesen, amelyek önszerveződés útján kollektív márkákat hoztak létre. Eredményeink igazolják az intézményi vállalkozók fontos szerepét a lokális kollektív cselekvés intézményesítésében. Irányítják, összefogják az új intézmények kialakításának innovációs folyamatát, de még fontosabb, hogy kialakítják és fenntartják a létrejövő szabályrendszereket támogató koalíciót. Motivációjukra sokféle tényező hat: személyes karriercélok, családi normák, a közösséggel való azonosulás, politikai szerepvállalás, kapcsolatépítés. De közös bennük, hogy közösségeik beágyazott, megbecsült és hosszú távra tervező tagjai. Feltételezhető, hogy minél nagyobb az „intézményi űr”, amelyet a szerveződések betöltenek, annál markánsabb a szerepük.

“…The environmental history of commons, and even more so of urban commons, is still an emerging area of study. An important gap in our historical understanding of commons is to know how institutions, norms and rules, vital for managing and preserving the commons, have emerged and changed over time Laborda-Pemán and De Moor 2016). The role of path dependency in enabling or constraining collective action becomes fundamental in this regard .…”

The "commons" has come to mean many things to many people, and the term is often used inconsistently. The study of the commons has expanded dramatically since Garrett Hardin's The Tragedy of the Commons (1968) popularized the dilemma faced by users of common pool resources.This comprehensive Handbook serves as a unique synthesis and resource for understanding how analytical frameworks developed within the literature assist in understanding the nature and management of commons resources. Such frameworks include those related to Institutional Analysis and Development, Social-Ecological Systems, and Polycentricity, among others. The book aggregates and analyses these frameworks to lay a foundation for exploring how they apply according to scholars across a wide range of disciplines. It includes an exploration of the unique problems arising in different disciplines of commons study, including natural resources (forests, oceans, water, energy, ecosystems, etc.), economics, law, governance, the humanities, and intellectual property. It shows how the analytical frameworks discussed early in the book facilitate interdisciplinarity within commons scholarship. This interdisciplinary approach within the context of analytical frameworks helps facilitate a more complete understanding of the similarities and differences faced by commons resource users and managers, the usefulness of the commons lens as an analytical tool for studying resource management problems, and the best mechanisms by which to formulate policies aimed at addressing such problems.
