The "tragedy of the commons" is a central concept in human ecology
and the study of the environment. It has had tremendous value for
stimulating research, but it only describes the reality of
human-environment interactions in special situations. Research over
the past thirty years has helped clarify how human motivations,
rules governing access to resources, the structure of social
organizations, and the resource systems themselves interact to
determine whether or not the many dramas of the commons end
happily. In this book, leaders in the field review the evidence
from several disciplines and many lines of research and present a
state-of-the-art assessment. They summarize lessons learned and
identify the major challenges facing any system of governance for
resource management. They also highlight the major challenges for
the next decade: making knowledge development more systematic;
understanding institutions dynamically; considering a broader range
of resources (such as global and technological commons); and taking
into account the effects of social and historical context. This
book will be a valuable and accessible introduction to the field
for students and a resource for advanced researchers. Table of
