“…The second of these paths saw commons scholarship encounter research drawing from more critical social science traditions, including those working in the fields of anthropology, sociology, and development studies. Although this is a rather loosely constituted group, in the last five years Cleaver and others (Cleaver 2012, Hall et al 2014, Cleaver and de Koning 2015, Whaley 2018) have attempted to articulate places of commonality and overlap among the various positions. In so doing, this second branch has come to be termed critical institutionalism, and can be considered an attempt to critique and steer mainstream commons scholarship in a new direction.…”

ABSTRACT. Adaptive governance continues to attract considerable interest in academic and policy circles. This is with good reason, given its increasing relevance in a globalized and changing world. At the same time, adaptive governance is the subject of a growing body of critical literature concerned with the ways in which it theorizes the social world. In this paper, we respond to these critiques, which we see as broadly concerning the process, power, and meaning dimensions of environmental and natural resource governance. We argue that adaptive governance theory would benefit from engaging constructively with critical institutionalism, a school of thought that, like adaptive governance, has one foot in commons scholarship. Critical institutionalism conceives of institutional change as a process of bricolage, where those involved piece together new arrangements from the resources to hand. This approach highlights the interplay of structure and agency, and illuminates how new governance arrangements form and come to be seen as natural in dynamic relation to the wider social and cultural landscape. We consider how these arrangements tend to reflect dominant power relations, whilst the plural nature of social life also provides scope for adaptation and transformative change.

“…Contrarily, CI acknowledges individuality but provides models of agency that recognize humans as driven by their relations to others and thus following 'emotional' 'moral' or 'social' rationalities beyond the economic (Cleaver and De Koning, 2015;de Koning and Cleaver, 2012;Whaley, 2018); humans are unconsciously guided by community norms, moral worldviews, relations of care, power dynamics, emotions and other physical embodied experiences (Agrawal, 2005;Cleaver, 2012;Lejano and Castro, 2014;Peters, 2004;Singh, 2013). Accordingly, CI also defines communities relationally: that is, built through social interactions and networks of communication which generate a community with shared norms, explanations and values (Table 1), and bring forward a notion of community based on shared identity forming an 'integrated whole' (Durkheim 1964 as cited in McCay andJentoft, 1998).…”

Historical commons as sites of transformation. A critical research agenda to study human and more-than-human communities

et al. 2019

The most critical question for sustainability research is how to facilitate transformative change. Yet, the academic scope of historical commons' research is limited to institutional design and environmental sustainability. In this paper we argue for a transformative research agenda for historical commons focused on the study of processes building humans and more-than-human communities. We start by reviewing three commons schools, namely the mainstream and critical institutionalism and the community economies collective, and assess how these relate to sustainability and to theories on agency, community and change. We then define a research agenda taking a political and critical ontology of the community economies collective, and a phenomenological epistemology of critical institutionalism. We follow by characterising the underlying practices building humans and more-than human communities by showing three ideal stages of commoning found in our empirical cases in the north-western Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). Finally, we end by presenting a guiding framework for analysing processes of building communities in historical commons. In conclusion, we encourage further exploration of underlying practices that widen humans' interdependency and inter-being and call for action-research projects and experimental methods that promote transformative encounters between humans and nature. Our framework is a first attempt to inspire researchers of historical commons to actively engage in unravelling the full potential of historical commons as sites of transformation.
