    The Institutional Geography of Early Modern Swedish Commons: The Case of Grimstens Hundred in Central Sweden
    (Department of Sociology and Political Science, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 2003) Jansson, Ulf; Berge, Erling; Carlsson, Lars
    "In the debate on commons over the last 30 years the starting point has often been Hardin's seminal paper The Tragedy of the commons from 1968. This view has been challenged over the years, mainly within the discussion that can be labeled common-pool resources (CPR). This discussion has however focused very little on the geography of the commons. A growing and interesting discussion on institutional geography partly connected to actor-network theory engage both the geography and the social organisations. This paper is an attempt to bring the historical geography of the commons in Sweden into this discussion."
