Abstract

(From the text):

"Papers in the *multiple commons* stream focused on two broad types of cases -- fisheries management and biodiversity management. Papers addressed situations where:
1) ecosystems are crossed by many administrative and cultural boundaries;
2) property rights are being claimed by local, national and global interests;
3) national administration and policy are influenced and distorted by donor funds donor competition; and
4) sectoral agencies fragment ecosystem management responsibilities."
