In a tragedy of the commons, individual competition over a resource can reduce the resource itself, and thus reduce the fitness of the whole group. An extreme example is evolutionary suicide, which is predicted to occur when the selfish interests of free-riders and cheaters overwhelm cooperative behaviors, and the social good on which they depend ceases to exist. Case studies cite many different and seemingly interacting factors for success. Here we propose an equation-based theoretical model to predict changes in this balance, which determine whether the tragedy of the commons is observed in a particular scenario. Using survey data from 20 Balinese subaks, we explore the explanatory power of two theoretical traditions that are currently used to analyze commons management institutions, revealing multiple regimes with correlated responses to environmental threats. To explore case studies from a comparative perspective requires both theory and methods that can account for differences between regimes and explore transitions between them.
在公地悲剧中,个体对资源的竞争会减少资源本身,从而降低整个群体的适合度。一个极端的例子是进化自杀,当搭便车者和骗子的自私利益压倒了合作行为,他们所依赖的社会利益不复存在时,就会发生进化自杀。案例研究列举了许多看似相互作用的成功因素。在这里,我们提出了一个基于方程的理论模型来预测这种平衡的变化,这决定了在特定情况下是否会出现公地悲剧。利用来自20个巴厘岛subaks的调查数据,我们探讨了目前用于分析公地管理制度的两种理论传统的解释力,揭示了对环境威胁具有相关反应的多种制度。从比较的角度来探索案例研究需要理论和方法来解释不同制度之间的差异,并探索它们之间的过渡。

Increasingly, a discussion is emerging on new framings for food beyond food as a commodity. Several initiatives deem food a human right or a common good in the context of a variety of food issues, along the entire food system. This paper focuses on the development of discourses on food-as-a-commons and their success in influencing policy. We explore in detail four discourses: “Open source inputs in agriculture”, “Joint responsibility for food products”, “Reducing food waste” and “Safeguarding food culture and knowledge”. We examine and classify case studies in Germany based on a semi-systematic literature review including policy documents of 12 initiatives that apply and inform these four discourses. This allows us to present various levels of policy uptake, working at different speeds. Identifying characteristics based on commons theory helps us to describe the initiatives better, and especially explain the success of some discourses over others in influencing policy. Results show that discourses that invoke ideas of core human values and are aimed at changing relatively feasible goals (changing resource allocation, but not changing governance or institutions), may be the most likely new food discourses to have policy impact. A prime example of this is the discourse “Reducing food waste”.
越来越多的人开始讨论食品的新框架,而不仅仅是作为商品的食品。有几项倡议认为,在整个粮食系统的各种粮食问题背景下,粮食是一项人权或共同利益。本文的重点是关于粮食作为公共资源的话语的发展及其在影响政策方面的成功。我们详细探讨了四个主题:“农业的开源投入”、“食品的共同责任”、“减少食物浪费”和“保护饮食文化和知识”。我们根据半系统的文献综述对德国的案例研究进行了检查和分类,其中包括适用并为这四种话语提供信息的12项举措的政策文件。这使我们能够呈现不同程度的政策吸收,以不同的速度工作。基于公地理论识别特征有助于我们更好地描述这些倡议,特别是解释一些话语在影响政策方面比其他话语成功。结果表明,援引人类核心价值理念的话语,旨在改变相对可行的目标(改变资源配置,但不改变治理或机构),可能是最有可能产生政策影响的新粮食话语。一个典型的例子就是“减少食物浪费”。

In this study we examine how fishers negotiate the tensions and tradeoffs between self-governance and reliance on the state. We address this question using the case of cooperative fishers in Mexico, where the government has historically acted as benefactor to local communities while also positioning itself as the key actor holding the capacity to solve governance problems. We found that framings regarding the scale of the problem influence arguments about when the government should take responsibility and when fishers should be given autonomy. For Mexican cooperativist fishers, the intervention of the state is fundamental for many issues, particularly for problems that transcend fishers’ capacity for action. To better understand how fishers articulate their responsibilities and those of the government in fisheries management, we designed a participatory methodological approach that allowed fishers the opportunity to articulate and prioritize their own needs and concerns. In the space created through our methodology, fishers were also able to reflect about what might be viable policies and interventions for effective fisheries governance on a national scale. Through the act of speech, fishers performed their own understandings of governance processes and at the same time proposed new institutional arrangements and collective governance strategies, while identifying roles that the state should play in nested, multi-level governance. Insights of this study contribute to the discussions about the value of examining the discursive practices as part of politicized performances that actors use to express policy preferences.
在这项研究中,我们研究了渔民如何在自治和依赖国家之间进行紧张和权衡。我们以墨西哥合作渔民的案例来解决这个问题,在墨西哥,政府历来是当地社区的捐助者,同时也将自己定位为有能力解决治理问题的关键行动者。我们发现,关于问题规模的框架影响了关于政府何时应该承担责任以及何时应该给予渔民自主权的争论。对于墨西哥的合作主义渔民来说,国家的干预是解决许多问题的根本,特别是那些超出渔民行动能力的问题。为了更好地了解渔民如何阐明他们和政府在渔业管理中的责任,我们设计了一种参与式方法,使渔民有机会阐明并优先考虑他们自己的需求和关切。在通过我们的方法创造的空间中,渔民也能够反思哪些可能是可行的政策和干预措施,以便在国家范围内进行有效的渔业治理。通过言语行为,渔民表达了自己对治理过程的理解,同时提出了新的制度安排和集体治理策略,同时确定了国家在嵌套式多层次治理中应该扮演的角色。本研究的见解有助于讨论将话语实践作为演员用来表达政策偏好的政治化表演的一部分进行研究的价值。

Integrating Institutions with Local Contexts in Community-Based Irrigation Governance: A Qualitative Systematic Review of Variables, Combinations, and Effects 基于社区的灌溉治理制度与地方背景的整合:对变量、组合和效果的定性系统回顾

The literature on common-pool resources (CPRs) has mostly focused on institutional conditions for successful governance of the commons. However, many scholars have emphasized that the explanatory power of institutional variables per se is limited and that institutions should not be isolated from the context in which they operate. Consequently, the success of CPR governance requires a more nuanced understanding of specific combinations of institutions in a specific social-ecological context. Using community-based irrigation systems as an example, this paper examines how combinations of institutions and contexts affect irrigation governance based on a qualitative systematic review of 83 English language peer-reviewed articles published since 1990. The review firstly summarizes the basic characteristics, main research subjects, and development trends in the literature on community-based irrigation governance. Then, revealing the specific effects of major combinations of institutional variables and contextual variables on the performance of irrigation governance, the review suggests that (a) the congruence of institutional arrangements with attributes of actors (e.g., group size, group heterogeneity, and social capital), (b) the specific combination of institutions and contexts of resource system and related ecosystems (e.g., hydrology, soil, and agriculture), and (c) the market incentives (e.g., irrigation systems’ spatial proximity to markets) associating with formal governance organizations, are important for improving irrigation governance performance. The main findings not only reveal existing gaps in understanding how institutions and contexts interact in community-based irrigation governance, but also indicate potential pathways to theoretical construction in complex CPR systems by further exploring the relationships between institutions and the contexts in which they operate.
关于共同资源库(CPR)的文献主要集中在成功治理公地的制度条件上。然而,许多学者强调,制度变量本身的解释力是有限的,不应将制度与其运作的背景隔离开来。因此,CPR治理的成功需要对特定社会生态背景下的特定机构组合有更细致的理解。本文以社区灌溉系统为例,基于对1990年以来发表的83篇英语同行评审文章的定性系统综述,研究了制度和环境的组合如何影响灌溉治理。综述了社区灌溉治理的基本特征、主要研究课题和发展趋势。然后,揭示了制度变量和情境变量的主要组合对灌溉治理绩效的具体影响,该综述表明:(a)制度安排与行为者属性(如群体规模、群体异质性和社会资本)的一致性,(b)资源系统和相关生态系统(如水文、土壤和农业)的机构和背景的具体组合,以及(c)与正式治理组织相关的市场激励措施(如灌溉系统与市场的空间接近度),对提高灌溉治理绩效很重要。主要研究结果不仅揭示了在理解机构和环境如何在社区灌溉治理中相互作用方面存在的差距,而且通过进一步探索机构及其运作环境之间的关系,指明了复杂CPR系统理论构建的潜在途径。

Globally, sacred groves represent a traditional form of community-based conservation system, recognized for their capacity to preserve areas that are of cultural and religious importance to local people. In most cases, the entire community takes on a watchdog role to guard against encroachment and unauthorized access either by its members or outsiders who might desecrate such sites. Our paper investigates the effects of different governance arrangements on three sacred groves in southwest Nigeria⎯Osun Osogbo Sacred Grove (UNESCO World Heritage Site); Idanre Hills (Nigerian National Monument) and Igbo-Olodumare (local cultural site)⎯on their socio-economic and religio-cultural benefits and contribution to biodiversity conservation. Using a mixed-methods design of a semi-structured questionnaire (n=167), key informant interviews (n=2), and focus groups (n=7), we collected data from local community members, traditional priests, sacred grove devotees and tourism officials. We found that customary institutions have guided reverence for sacralized spaces and wise utilization of their unique resources. The growing recognition of sacred groves has paved the way for socioeconomic rewards for individuals and government as cultural tourism increases. We found that the involvement of formal institutions alongside customary institutions in sacred grove management reinforces compliance with conservation laws within the sacred groves, especially where traditional norms are weak or may be disregarded. We discuss the implications of these observations and offer suggestions to improve community engagement, uphold traditional ecological knowledge, and develop ecotourism within the groves. We conclude that the co-existence of community-based conservation through a system of established traditional norms and prohibitions as well as formal government legislation and management, offers assurance for the long-term preservation of sacred groves and their biodiversity.
在全球范围内,圣林代表了一种传统形式的以社区为基础的保护系统,因其保护对当地人民具有文化和宗教重要性的地区的能力而得到认可。在大多数情况下,整个社区都扮演着监督的角色,以防止其成员或可能亵渎这些网站的外人的侵犯和未经授权的访问。我们的论文调查了不同的治理安排对尼日利亚西南部三个圣林的影响-奥孙-奥索博圣林(联合国教科文组织世界遗产);Idanre Hills(尼日利亚国家纪念碑)和Igbo-Olodumare(当地文化遗址)-他们的社会经济和宗教文化利益以及对生物多样性保护的贡献。采用半结构化问卷(n=167)、关键信息访谈(n=2)和焦点小组(n=7)的混合方法设计,我们收集了当地社区成员、传统牧师、圣林信徒和旅游官员的数据。我们发现,传统的制度引导人们对神圣空间的敬畏,并明智地利用其独特的资源。随着文化旅游的增长,对圣林的日益认可为个人和政府的社会经济回报铺平了道路。我们发现,在圣林管理中,正式机构和习俗机构的参与加强了对圣林保护法律的遵守,特别是在传统规范薄弱或可能被忽视的地方。我们讨论了这些观察结果的意义,并提出了改善社区参与、维护传统生态知识和发展林内生态旅游的建议。我们的结论是,通过建立传统规范和禁令以及正式的政府立法和管理体系,以社区为基础的保护共存,为长期保护圣林及其生物多样性提供了保证。

Bundle of Rights Reversed: Anticommons in a Japanese Common Property Forest Due to Legalization 权利束的逆转:法制化导致的日本共有物林的反共有物

Commons studies have emphasized the importance of customary rights and informal institutions, arguing that if there is a gap between formal ownership titles and customary rights, then the latter must be respected. However, as customary practices weaken, the influence of state legal systems and registered titles becomes stronger. When the commons is registered under multiple co-owners’ names, the commoners come to believe that they hold a normal common property and keep these rights even after they leave the village. This phenomenon, called legalization, leads to the tragedy of the anticommons because the number of rights holders outside the village increases. This paper explains the underuse of Japanese common property forests due to this legalization, especially in terms of two points derived from microdata analysis of the 2000 census. First, in the case of multiple co-owners, the number of ex-villagers who keep their rights is very high. Second, when ex-villagers keep their rights and the registered name includes multiple coowners, forestry activities are most infrequent. This paper names this situation “Bundle of Rights Reversed,” in which those outside the community have strong rights to prevent change in forest use, and propose the application of a different legal rule. This framework would be useful for a comparative study on the formalization of commons tenure rights.
下议院的研究强调了习惯权利和非正式制度的重要性,认为如果正式所有权和习惯权利之间存在差距,那么后者必须得到尊重。然而,随着习惯做法的削弱,国家法律制度和登记所有权的影响变得更强。当公地以多个共有人的名义登记时,平民开始相信他们拥有正常的共同财产,即使在离开村庄后也会保留这些权利。这种被称为合法化的现象导致了反共有的悲剧,因为村外权利持有人的数量增加了。本文解释了由于这种合法化,日本共有产权森林的利用不足,特别是从2000年人口普查的微观数据分析中得出的两点。首先,在多个共有人的情况下,保留权利的前村民人数非常多。其次,当前村民保留他们的权利,并且登记的名字包括多个共同所有人时,林业活动最为罕见。本文将这种情况命名为“权利倒置的捆绑”,在这种情况下,社区以外的人有权阻止森林使用的变化,并提出了不同的法律规则的应用。这一框架将有助于对下议院保有权的形式化进行比较研究。

Enclosure movements on the commons continue without slowing down especially in the developing countries; as well as the grassroots movements against them. Enclosure movements frequently contain several foreign investments and appropriations to other uses on natural resources and/or assets such as pastures, forests, rivers, agricultural lands and seashores, which are crucial income sources for rural households. Among other factors, the shortcomings in the common management processes, cooperatives and self-organization capacity of the stakeholders ease the enclosure process. The study investigates the environmental movements as commoning practices in Turkey in the last decade through media analysis and surveys. The study aims to constitute a scientific basis to enhance the EIA processes in order to encourage proactive responses to environmental crises, prevent enclosure movements on the commons and maintain the local sustainable development. Hence, firstly the environmental movements in Turkey are spatialized by GIS analyst tools to constitute an environmental inventory including time, types, frequency and location of the movements; secondly, an online survey is conducted with the environmental NGOs; thirdly, two possible scenarios are suggested through a triple-scale scoring system; and finally, several recommendations are proposed in order to sustain the commons.
公地的圈地运动继续进行,没有减缓,尤其是在发展中国家;以及反对他们的草根运动。圈地运动经常包含对牧场、森林、河流、农业用地和海岸等自然资源和/或资产的若干外国投资和拨款,这些自然资源和资产是农村家庭的重要收入来源。除其他因素外,共同管理流程、合作社和利益相关者自组织能力方面的缺陷缓解了封闭过程。该研究通过媒体分析和调查,调查了土耳其在过去十年中的环保运动。该研究旨在为加强环境影响评价过程提供科学依据,以鼓励积极应对环境危机,防止公地上的圈地运动,并维护当地的可持续发展。因此,首先通过GIS分析工具对土耳其的环境运动进行空间化,以构成一个环境清单,包括运动的时间、类型、频率和位置;其次,与环保非政府组织进行了在线调查;第三,通过三重评分系统提出了两种可能的情景;最后,为了维持公地,提出了一些建议。
