'Whereas the existing literature generally studies small-scale
commons, this challenging book boldly - and successfully - engages
in extrapolating this cooperation-based governance model to global
resources. From democratic perspectives to institutional
construction, its many contributions, written by prominent scholars
in the field of commons or international law, critically introduce
and renew the radical notion of commons and collective action by
citizens, as vehicles for democratization, in global governance and
international public law.' - Severine Dusollier, Sciences Po Law
School, France 'Can we devise new systems of law and governance to
support commons at the global level? This thoughtful collection of
essays explores how we might address this vital challenge for
humanity in the years ahead.' - David Bollier, Schumacher Center
for a New Economics, US Given the new-found importance of the
commons in current political discourse, it has become increasingly
necessary to explore the democratic, institutional and legal
implications of the commons for global governance today. This book
analyses and explores the ground-breaking model of the commons and
its relation to these debates. Featuring original contributions
from renowned scholars across the globe and analysis of Elinor
Ostrom's fundamental work, this interdisciplinary book is organized
into three main areas of inquiry: the commons as vehicles for the
democratization of global governance, the role played by
commons-based institutions in global governance and a more
normative interrogation around what international law ought to look
like to support the commons. Provocative and critical ideas about
the current system of global governance act as a stimulus to
explore further research and activism in the commons. The first of
its kind to offer a specific focus on the commons and global
governance, this much-needed book will prove invaluable for
academics in the humanities and social sciences including
economists, political philosophers, political scientists and legal
scholars. It will also appeal to policy-makers, concerned members
of civil society and commons activists. Contributors include: M.
