Abstract:
|
"Institutional arrangements for the management of common-pool resources are created and evolve in particular settings. A full understanding of the evolution and survival of such arrangements thus requires dynamic analysis of case studies. The framework presented in Oakerson (1986) may be applied recursively to examine dynamic sequences of change. Thus responses to exogenous shocks in one period become part of the existing set of institutional arrangements in the next, affecting the subsequent path of evolution in institutional arrangements. The dynamic sequences of change in the management of forest resources in Niger (1884-1984) and land resources in Thailand (1850-1980) are the theme of the paper. By applying the model in Oakerson (1986) iteratively, changes in both individual strategies and decision-making arrangements may be made endogenous. The approach is applied at both the local and supra-local levels."
