IASCP and the Challenge of Managing Global Commons

Abstract

"This note in a way represents loud thinking on usability of IASCP model (approaches/ processes/experiences etc. underlying the CPR focused research, advocacy and decision, effectively used in dealing with local CPRs in many countries) to address the governance or management problems of global commons. For doing so, (i) first we identify the key features of approaches/processes focused on CPRs, facilitated by IASCP directly or indirectly; (ii) next we outline the major constraints to effective governance of global commons; (iii) finally, we try to see the indicative match or mismatch between (i) and (ii). The purpose of this note is not a scholarly message but some pre-mature ideas for sharing, developing or rejecting by CPR researchers."
