Abstract:	"In this paper I present a Cultural Theory approach to the commons: an approach which, whilst certainly institutional, is not fully in agreement with the New Institutionalism of Keohane and Ostrom (nor, for that matter, with that of March and Olsen, Powell and Dimaggio or North, though I will not discuss these other versions here). Since most of those who are interested in the commons will not have come across Cultural Theory, I should begin by saying a little about what it is and how its characterisation of institutions differ from that of the New Institutionalists."
