“…The level of governance decentralisation: The national policy on governance should allow decentralisation and self-governance at sub-national levels, as well as decision-making autonomy for non-state actors (Van Zeben, 2019;Bogason and Zølner, 2007;Ostrom, 1959Ostrom, , 1993. This first condition is a contextual one in the sense that the level and type of decentralisation is variable and, therefore, the way in which it is measured will also vary between territories or states.…”

Territorial rescaling and polycentric governance in Albania

Territories as relational geographical constructs are in constant formation and reformation, or rescaling, which results in spatial typologies of complex governance. The voting containers of a territory are merely one typology, often not matching the numerous functions within the other typologies. Under the assumption that voting containers are politically fixed, governance that adapts to the dynamics of territorial rescaling is required. This paper explores the relationship between territorial rescaling and polycentric governance in Albania. It concludes that polycentric governance can enable cooperation and efficiency throughout rescaling, assuming some conditions are in place for addressing the polycentricity gap.

“…Although beyond the scope of the 1961 article, their definition of polycentricity already underlines the need to empirically verify the types of relationships between the identified centers of decision-making. Vincent started this research in earlier work on urban governance and natural resource management, which was continued together with Lin and expanded further through the Workshop (Ostrom, 1953a(Ostrom, , 1953b(Ostrom, , 1959(Ostrom, , 1962a(Ostrom, , 1962bOstrom, Bish and Ostrom, 1988).…”

“…This motivation is multi-faceted, whereas the rationality assumption that underlies public choice models only captures one dimension of motivation 1997, 96-99). Similarly, Vincent found the benchmark of efficiency as externally imposed to have limited utility since individuals or communities may decide to prioritize other goals (Ostrom, 1959(Ostrom, , 1993.…”

Routledge Handbook of the Study of the Commons

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.

“…One of the benefits of polycentric systems of governance is their ability to capture economies of scale, but Ostrom never presumed that this would be the only goal under consideration. In a polycentric order, individuals or communities might decide, for whatever reason, to sacrifice efficiency for the pursuit of other goals, such as accountability, fairness, or physical sustainability (Ostrom 1959, 1993).…”

Among Vincent Ostrom's many contributions to the study of public administration, policy, and political science, the concept of polycentricity remains his single most important legacy. This essay locates the origins of this concept in Ostrom's early research on resource management in the Western United States and demonstrates its continuing influence throughout The Intellectual Crisis in Public Administration, The Political Theory of a Compound Republic, and his other major publications. Although typically pigeonholed within the confines of the public choice tradition, Ostrom's body of work should be widely appreciated as an early statement of the critical importance of network forms of governance in democratic societies.
