This volume focuses on how, in Europe, the debate on the commons is
discussed in regard to historical and contemporary dimensions,
critically referencing the work of Elinor Ostrom. It also explores
from the perspective of new institutional political ecology (NIPE)
how Europe directly and indirectly affected and affects the commons
globally. Most of the research on the management of commons pool
resources is limited to dealing with one of two topics: either the
interaction between local participatory governance and development
of institutions for commons management, or a political- economy
approach that focuses on global change as it is related to the
increasingly globalised expansion of capitalist modes of
production, consumption and societal reproduction. This volume
bridges the two, addressing how global players affect the commons
worldwide and how they relate to responses emerging from within the
commons in a global- local (glocal) world. Authors from a range of
academic disciplines present research findings on recent
developments on the commons, including: historical insights; new
innovations for participatory institutions building in Europe or
several types of commons grabbing, especially in Africa related to
European investments; and restrictions on the management of commons
at the international level. European case studies are included,
providing interesting examples of local participation in commons
resource management, while simultaneously showing Europe as a
centre for globalized capitalism and its norms and values,
affecting the rest of the world, particularly developing countries.
This book will be of interest to students and researchers from a
wide range of disciplines including natural resource management,
environmental governance, political geography and environmental
history.
