Central and Eastern European Commons

Abstract

"I want to take the liberty and present a rather polemical commentary on the nature of academic and policy debates about Central and Eastern European (CEE) commons. My comments are informed by my knowledge of the scant literature on the topic. They are restricted to rural resource management, as I cannot claim any knowledge of other fields. Nevertheless, I hope that they will help readers put the presentations at the Brescia conference in perspective and appreciate their contributions to an understanding of commons in the region."
