Discussant's Comments: Mulitple Commons Stream

Abstract

(From the text):

"Papers in the *multiple commons* stream focused on two broad types of cases -- fisheries management and biodiversity management. Papers addressed situations where: 1) ecosystems are crossed by many administrative and cultural boundaries; 2) property rights are being claimed by local, national and global interests; 3) national administration and policy are influenced and distorted by donor funds donor competition; and 4) sectoral agencies fragment ecosystem management responsibilities."
