“Governing shared resources: connecting local experience to global challenges”
The 12th Biennial Conference of the International Association for the Study of Commons, July 14-18, 2008
The IASC 2008 global conference will take place in Cheltenham, England. The emphasis of the conference is the exchange of knowledge on shared resources or ‘commons’: between developing and developed world, between practitioners and researchers, and between old and ‘new’ commons. The overarching theme of governing shared resources aims to encourage discussion on new ways of using, managing, protecting and creating what many understand as ‘commons’. The themes recognise the wide variety of understanding over the term ‘commons’ and the need to link practical experience at the local level with larger global commons issues.
