"Generally speaking, scholars of the commons have been concerned with understanding what makes institutions for the management of common-pool resources emerge and function successfully. In a recent contribution to World Development, Arun Agrawal begins by choosing institutional durability as a proxy for success and then makes essentially two points. First, he feels that we are some distance away from a comprehensive theory of what makes commons institutions durable. This is because we have paid little attention to how the large number of causal factors identified so far are linked to each other and also to key contextual factors such as demography, markets, state policies and resource characteristics. Second, he argues that the literature is clogged with case studies, whereas what is actually needed is comparisons across purposively chosen case studies and statistical analyses using large-N studies." |
