A Relational Archive for Natural Resources Governance and Management

Abstract

"The development of this archive for natural resources governance and management is based on the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework. Colleagues at the Workshop have developed the IAD framework over the past decade. The IAD framework is a method for identifying and analyzing how attributes of a physical world interact with those of the general cultural setting and the specific rules-in-use to affect the incentives facing individuals in particular situations and the likely outcomes to result. Past Workshop research projects have applied this methodology in developing a database on common-pool resources (particularly irrigation systems and in-shore fisheries) located in different regions of the world."
