▼ Researchers studying
common pool resource (CPR) governance argue that the participation of natural resource dependent people in formal processes of natural resource governance is essential for the sustainability of those
resources. In accord with the vast body of related research and political activism, the United States fisheries management system promotes co-management practices as the pathway to sustainable fisheries governance. Nevertheless, empirical evidence illustrates that local fishers are increasingly disappearing from the fishing industry and their communities at the same time as the degradation of fisheries is increasing. I examine this contradiction through a case study of a community of commercial fisherpeople in Two Rivers, North Carolina. I develop the concepts of visibility, legitimacy, and power to capture the multiple levels and scales of structure and agency that shape the participation of local fishers in governance activities and lead to environmental degradation. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and review of policy documents and local archives. An important finding from this study is that many local fishers practice active non-participation, - intentional non-involvement in formal political activities while instead engaging in informal fisheries governance activities. However, the political inactivity associated with active non-participation decreases the legitimacy and power of local fishers, hastening their disarticulation from the fisheries, further decreasing the efficacy of formal political processes and ultimately resulting in unsustainable fisheries governance. Through the active political participation of commercial fishers, there is hope and a way forward for the future of fisher livelihoods and the sustainability of the nation's fisheries.

▼ In recent decades there has been a push to try and
include communities in natural resource conservation initiatives.
This thesis uses a multidisciplinary approach and a series of case
studies in the Ecuadorian Amazon to look at the role that common
property regimes can have in conservation initiatives. Results show
that community managed forests can have positive conservation
outcomes. Local communities, however, will often integrate into
local market economies creating significant tradeoffs between
livelihoods, local management decisions and natural resource
conservation. Nonetheless, resource scarcity can drive the
evolution of local resource management institutions and communities
have the potential to accurately monitor changes in natural
resources. These results suggest that local communities have the
potential to play an important role in conservation practices but
that local economic incentives can affect the way in which
communities manage their resources.
This PhD is a collection of studies that study the
role of indigenous communities in biodiversity conservation. The
first study uses the data in the current scientific literature to
look community conservation. The second and third studies use a
series use original data gathered in indigenous Kichwa communities
the Ecuadorian Amazon to look at the relationship between self
designed rules, agriculture and biodiversity. The fourth study
focuses asks if frogs, ferns and beetles can tell us anything about
the state and health of forests. In the fifth study we ask if local
communities themselves can monitor changes in their forests. The
sixth study is an opinion piece about the union of academic
disciplines including the lessons learnt and the challenges
ahead.

Local fishery, global commodity: Conflict, cooperation, and competition in Ghana’s coastal fisheries.

▼ A large body of research in recent decades has dramatically increased our understanding of the dynamics, challenges, and management approaches in marine fisheries commons. However, most of this research focuses on specific fisheries in a single subsector, outlining a series of recommendations to improve governance within a particular context. Yet, as most fisheries around the world do not occur within a closed context, but instead are diverse, cross-scale, dynamic, pluralistic, and resource-limited, many of these recommendations are ill-suited to their particular challenges. One of the best examples of these cross-scale resources challenges are the increasingly reported incidents between small-scale and industrial fishers. While small-scale fishers assert that conflict and competition with industrial vessels present some of the most persistent threats to fishing livelihoods, interactions are complex and may also include cooperative and compensatory dynamics. To illuminate these dynamics, I situate my case study in coastal Ghana, analyzing the characteristics, drivers, and consequences of industrial-small-scale incidents at sea. I employ both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including key informant interviews, cross-sectional surveys, archival work, and spatial modeling. First, I use a historical database of incidents to understand the actors, characteristics, and drivers of incidents, situating them as a form of resource conflict. Further, I ground these incidents in conflict theory, outlining their contingent nature and pathways toward conflict and cooperation. Finally, I empirically assess the consequences of these incidents for small-scale fishing households and communities. Through these analyses, I aim to illuminate one of the least evidenced and theorized conjunctures in fisheries, yet one that profoundly affects the day to day lives of millions of fishers around the world.

▼ As aquaculture gains prominence as a major economic industry, and as wild-capture fisheries decline, coastal communities on Chiloé Island in southern Chile are facing inevitable social-ecological change. This research provides a
cross-sectional, proxy-longitudinal study of indicators of resilience in a coastal community on Chiloé that is undergoing a transformation from small-scale fisheries to wage labor in aquaculture firms. Systematic data collection and analysis revealed
that maintaining a high degree of specific resilience indicators is more likely to occur among fishermen who do not become aquaculture employees, and that even higher scores resulted from fishermen who became members of a small-scale, native species
aquaculture cooperative. This information can serve as a model for sustainable development strategies and resilience in other coastal communities facing transformations due to changing ecological and economic factors.

▼ This dissertation explores the role of energy inputs, irrigation technology, and conservation policy in irrigated agricultural production. In the first chapter, I utilize empirical and simulation modeling to understand the impact of non-linear energy pricing on groundwater use decisions in the Republican River Basin of Colorado. The second chapter empirically investigates how peer effects and resource availability influence a producer's choice to adopt a resource-conserving irrigation technology using data from the Trifa Plain of Morocco. The third chapter develops a hydroeconomic model which pairs groundwater demand with a physical model of resource dynamics to quantify how a groundwater conservation policy implemented within a subsection of the Republican River Basin of Colorado creates resource and input market spillovers.

▼ In Sweden, there are both public roads and civic roads. The civic roads are managed by the people who utilize them. These roads go most through forests and farmlands but also in urban detached areas and are supposed to have a lower cost than with governmental management. Previous regulation has put out the reinvestment in the civic roads in urban areas and left them in a bad shape. I have studied an attempt to reinstall the civic road management system for such urban areas in Leksand. Based on the theory of public goods and common pool resources, I have made a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) to see if the civic road management system will be effective in the long run compared to municipality management. I found that if it works, the civic road management system is the most effective due to the marginal excess tax burden that harms the municipality management. However, the civic road management system gives great responsibility and administration to a few people and might not work well in the long run. Instead I suggest a user-fee financing of the municipality management which is not affected by the marginal excess tax burden.
I många svenska kommuner har kvalitén på de enskilda vägarna i tätorter försämrats på grund av otydliga ansvarsförhållanden. Jag har studerat ett pågående projekt i Leksand som håller på att bilda samfällighetsföreningar som skall ansvara för de enskilda vägarna i tätort. För att bedöma om samfälld förvaltning är effektivt över tid har jag gjort en samhällsekonomisk konsekvensanalys baserad på teorin om kollektiva nyttigheter och förvaltning av gemensamma resurser. Det visade sig att samfälld förvaltning var effektivast jämfört med kommunal förvaltning, mycket beroende på marginalkostnaden för skatter överskottsbörda. Samfälld förvaltning innebär dock stort ansvar och omfattande administrativa uppgifter för ett fåtal och det är osäkert hur väl det fungerar på lång sikt. Som ett alternativ föreslår jag att finansiering med användaravgifter möjliggörs för kommunal förvaltning av enskilda vägar vilket inte påverkas av marginell överskottsbörda.

▼ This dissertation analyzes firms' side problems in economics using an industrial organization approach to provide analysis and policy tools.
In the first paper (Chapter 2), I analyze a setting in which firms appropriating the same
common pool resource, such as fishing grounds or forests, have equity shares in one another's profits. I identify the firms' decisions of how much equity to acquire in equilibrium, the social planner's optimal equity shares and potential policy tools inducing firms to voluntarily choose socially optimal shares under this setting.
In the second paper (Chapter 3), I extend the model of the first paper to a context of a Cournot duopoly. The key difference in this setting is that firms now have market power, and hence, their production influences market price. However, unlike in a
common pool resource setting, their production does not affect the production cost of their rivals. I also identify the firms' decisions of how much equity to acquire in equilibrium, the social planner's optimal equity shares and potential policy tools inducing firms to voluntarily choose socially optimal shares under this setting.
In the third paper (Chapter 4), I consider a setting in which consumers, who can afford to pay their bills on time, pay them late with a penalty due to various behavioral biases. In such a setting, I show how a firm can exploit consumer biases to increase its profits by either: (1) choosing very high penalties and collecting them from a smaller number of consumers who pay their bills late in-spite of the high penalty; or (2) setting very low penalties and inducing more people to pay late, thus collecting a smaller penalty from a larger population.

▼ Many regions around the world are facing water shortage, low water quality, unsustainable overuse or other problems that may even cause conflict among different actors. These water
resources are typical examples of
common-
pool resources. Leaders seem to play a crucial role in the emergence of community-based management of
resources and overcoming the collective action problem. The main purpose of this study is to find the mechanism behind the emergence of leaders in the process of starting collective action. I synthesized leadership studies from different domains and created Leadership for Community Development (LCD) theory. Based on LCD, leadership emerges from influencing interactions that are done to share a vision and make other community members dedicated to it. In this process, leaders gather the requirements of collective action, like support or political capital. Central to this idea is the innovation process, which has four phases of idea generation, idea elaboration, idea promotion, and idea adoption. The idea in the innovation process is the same as the vision. According to this theory, first, there might be problematizing leaders who challenge the current state and give attention to a problem through influencing interactions. Dissatisfaction with the current state can lead to idea generation. In the idea elaboration phase, the idea creator will try to elaborate and gather support for the idea among his or her close connections. If this is successful and enough support is received, dedicated actors will start promoting the idea by influencing others. In the idea promotion phase, enabling leadership emerges when actors promote their own vision and echoing leadership emerges when convinced actors advocate the vision of their influencers. Enabling leadership and echoing leadership form up effective leadership, which is the indispensable influencing effort of actors for reaching the next phase. Idea adoption or implementation, which is in the domain of management, starts when requirements such as political and intellectual capitals are enough. This theory is further supported by a case study and interview. I created an agent-based model based on the LCD theory. The model was a successful proof of concept for the LCD theory and how the identified types of leadership emerge through the process of initiating collective action. I used the model to identify the most significant factors on the role of leaders and the initiation of collective action. The social network proved to be the most important factor. Based on these findings, I emphasized on the importance of focusing on networks and building connections in the communities. Moreover, I have suggested using these findings to diagnose the lack of collective action in communities and to use this diagnosis in the process of facilitating collective action in communities. I proposed many recommendations for future steps in this study. The top priority recommendations are a call for case studies to be done to further validate the LCD theory and to…

▼ This chapter focuses on revamping KMC’s SWM model to achieve two goals: local private sector involvement as a form of PPPs and community interaction. I propose a model that applies the 1999 Local Self Governance Act to enable communities to take charge of SWM in their locale by forming consumer groups that act as private sector partners to the local government. The local government’s responsibility in this case does not change dramatically from the current PPP structure where a private sector entity is hired to collect and transport solid waste to a solid waste dump. The only difference is that local administration will have to interact with community members as they form their consumer groups. Furthermore, I suggest that each ward, which is the lowest administrative level in a municipality, create their own consumer group. However, this does not prevent wards from working with one another to create larger consumer groups, i.e., private handlers. What this does mean though is that the municipal government will be contracting out to and interacting with multiple contractors for the same services that one contractor previously managed. While this may seem inefficient, it should be noted that the LSGA requires each ward to elect a ward committee consisting of a chairperson and members (LSGA, 1999: 2-6). Thus this committee would handle interactions with consumer groups rather than the central municipal office. This increased interaction with local government allows for community members and the local government to build a relationship of trust, especially since the LGSA does not allow consumer groups to keep the funds they earn. Instead, the local government would have to manage the proceeds.
If a consumer group is to act like a private sector entity then logic dictates it should manage its income. However, since the consumer group is in fact working in partnership with the local government, it is not an imperative. Earlier discussions have already established that each nation should define its own terms for PPPs that best suite their needs. While there is indeed a national PPP Act the act can be viewed as guidelines rather than requirements, i.e., municipalities can define their own terms for PPPs. This is because the LSGA gives municipalities the freedom to make adjustments for local needs. In some respects this is a loophole or a fail safe for local governments as they are expected to adapt to changing local needs rather than the central government. The 2011 SWM Act also adapts to this jurisdiction division.
It should also be noted that increased interaction is not limited to community members and the local government. This suggested model, which is an application of Elinor Ostrom’s
Common Pool Resources, also increases interaction and interdependence among community members. The core idea in CPR is that some public goods are indeed subtractive. Said differently, if individuals follow their own self interest instead of working towards the
common good, the resource can diminish reducing benefits for all (Ostrom,…

▼ The food security and livelihood of millions of marginal farmers depend on the productivity of smallholder farms that account for 50 percent of global farmland production. However, these farms are increasingly under stress from global change, including climate change, market integration, and international out-migration. In addition, there is limited information on how farmers and local irrigation institutions cope with and adapt to these multilevel changes. Using the case of 379 farmers located in 12 farmer-managed irrigation systems (FMIS) in the Gandaki Basin of Central and Western Nepal, this study explores how FMIS and farmers cope with and adapt to water stress. Drawing on empirical evidence of these FMIS, I build on the understanding of adaptive capacity – a central aspect of institutional adaptation – based on five capitals (human, social, physical, natural and financial) and two governance attributes. The institutional adaptation of FMIS can be broadly categorized into structural (e.g. canal lining, temporary dams) and operational measures (e.g. water allocation rules). Some of the factors that facilitate effective adaptation include collective action, leadership, and good governance as well as physical attributes including the presence of an economically feasible alternative water source. At the farmers’ level, I studied crop choice, which emerged as one of the
common adaptation strategies to global change, by incorporating multilevel drivers at household, institution, and regional level. The household attributes included farmer’s demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, institutional information focused on irrigation system attributes, and regional variables included precipitation and temperature variables. The study showed that crop choice is driven by biophysical system, (measured by the size of the river that feeds the irrigation system), market integration, and farmer’s age. Climate change and variability act as a threat multiplier because they compound the existing impacts the system faces from social, economic and biophysical changes. Overall, the dissertation helps us better understand the institutional adaptive capacity that incorporates both the assets and governance-based dimensions, expands the typology of irrigated agriculture to include both the structural and operational measures. Further, the multilevel modeling adds as a quantitative tool to assess the effects of global change. The dissertation, therefore, makes theoretical, empirical, and methodological contributions to the literature on adaptation and resilience.

▼ My dissertation is a case study examining how changes in land tenure and taxation policies created underdevelopment in the region worst affected by desertification in China: the Minqin oasis in the Gansu province. I argue that the tragedy of the commons occurred due to the significant decline in institutional credibility of land tenure in the oasis, driven by central-local tensions embedded in a tax farming system. My dissertation discusses the concepts of political capitalism and its application to the changing roles of the communist state on resource management during the collective and tax reform eras in China. I first examined the environmental history of the oasis, showing the intricate yet repetitive pattern of interactions between the state extraction policy and the ecology of the oasis from the 14th century to the communist collective era. I then used Weber’s analysis of center-periphery relations to dissect the treadmill of production in a politically-oriented capitalist regime. I show that the institutional disarray in the 1980s created a fiscal crisis that pushed the central government to decentralize public goods provisions. Under constant pressure to increase tax revenues, the unitary bureaucracy intensified the collection of unregulated fees and levies from farmers. They also encouraged cash-cropping in massive land reclamation projects by contracting the rights for use of wastelands and the groundwater underneath. Local state agents prohibited the traditional customs of water-sharing among villagers and operated higher tax rates in mutually cultivated areas as compared to privately reclaimed areas. The disruption of productive relations reduced the institutional credibility of land rights among the peasantry and, together with the ever-increasing need to accumulate capital for industrialized farming, created the homo economicus and corporatist state in the ecological catastrophe. In conclusion, I discuss how the case study of Minqin adds to the vibrant literature about the treadmill of accumulation theory in environmental sociology, and the impact of institutional transformation in post-socialist societies on nature is also discussed. The data came from an 18 month-long ethnography, 157 oral history interviews conducted with three generations of peasants living in the Minqin oasis, and 7,237 policy documents gathered from provincial and county record offices in northwestern China. Data gathering was completed in 2013.

▼ The exponential growth of the human population has contributed to the overuse and degradation of
common pool resources. Using science as a tool for informed policy-making can improve the management of our
common pool resources. Understanding the conditions that influence groups of individuals to make ethical self-controlled choices may help solve problems related to the overuse and degradation of
common pool resources. Ethical self-control involves the conflict of choice between one that will benefit the individual versus one that will benefit the group. The cumulative effect of many individuals behaving in an ethically self-controlled manner with
common resource use may offset some of the harm posed by overuse of
common pool resources. Metacontingency arrangements involving ethical self-control may provide some insight as to if and how groups may cooperate to manage a
common pool resource. This manuscript proposes an experimental preparation and methodology to evaluate the effects of competing magnitudes of cultural consequences on culturants and their cumulative effect on
common pool resources; and provides an analysis and discussion of five trends that might result from such a line of research.

▼ How do marketing systems, which are often driven to grow over time, respond when their growth is limited? Barriers to growth can be endogenous in the form of a sustainability imperative or they may be exogenous to the system, such as legislation regulating commercial activity. Thus, actions in the adjacent and complementary systems at the micro, meso and macro level are critical to consider. These issues are all to be found in the focal case study of this thesis, the whale shark marketing system of Ningaloo. The first aim of this thesis is to explore how the Mechanisms Action Structure (MAS) Theory can explain these issues, using a range of empirical examples. MAS Theory is distinguished from its counterparts because it views marketing systems as interdependent and evolving. This thesis illustrates the combined influence of a marketing systems structure, functioning, the associated action fields and generating social mechanisms that shape and continue to form a marketing system in an ongoing process. To understand present day there needs to be consideration of how the system has evolved over time. The past has a significant impact on the structure, functioning and values of a contemporary marketing system. In order to advance the marketing literature there needs to be theoretically informed studies of the history of specific marketing systems. History is not simply background; the concept path dependency, shows us how the past and sequencing of events creates self-reinforcing processes that narrow future possibilities. A secondary purpose of this thesis is to make the influence of history explicit and present a generalizable, theoretically informed framework to study how causal dynamics interact over time. Empirical analysis revealed that MAS Theory alone was insufficient to study the specific marketing system explored, since it involves a
common pool resource, where property rights differ from private goods. The associated action field must deal with a growth barrier that in turn influences the structure and function of the linked marketing system. The third aim of this thesis is to extend MAS Theory and enrich its capability to study marketing systems involving a
common pool resource.

▼ Cities are getting more congested and polluted as they grow; transportation is one of the contributors to this. Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) could revolutionise the transportation sector for people. In MaaS, the car-sharing schemes will play a vital role and can help in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, in the long-term, these services will decrease congestion in the cities. Nevertheless, business models that have evolved around car-sharing have not always proven to be economically sustainable. In this research, the current institutional settings and characteristics of the car-sharing system are reviewed. After that, car-sharing is examined as a
Common-
Pool Resource so that they can be managed as such
resources. Ostrom has proved that there are many cases where the
common pool resources are sustained through the self-organisation of the management of these
resources. This self-organisation will be explored for the car-sharing system by testing the influence of the presence of the design principle. The design principles are similarities that are found in self-organising systems and can serve as guidance for the robust management of
common-
pool resources. To explore the effects of the design principles, an Agent-Based Model is constructed of a car-sharing service. The model was built based on literature, and the design principles on boundaries, equivalence between benefits and costs, collective choice arrangements, monitoring, and graduated sanctions are implemented in the model. The results were analysed with correlation tables and show that the design principle of having collective choice arrangements have a positive effect on the profit of the companies. However, the satisfaction of the users has not been improved by the presence of this design principle. The design principle on graduated sanctioning was implemented and decreased the profit but did not affect the satisfaction rate of users. With these results, it was concluded that there is reason to believe that the car-sharing system can benefit, depending on the rules that are created, from the implementation of the design principles. Furthermore, therefore, further research on the systems institutional settings centred around on self-organisation can be done with the application of the design principles as guidance. The scientific contribution of this thesis is studying of car-sharing as a
common-
pool resource. This fulfils the knowledge gap that existed in the current research on
common-
pool resources. Next to that the exploration of the possibilities for self-organisation of car-sharing by implementing the design principles in an agent-based model of a car-sharing system is done. From a social perspective, the study explores the car-sharing system, which has the potential to solve problems with congestion and emissions in cities. In future research, the model could be extended and based on actual data to reveal more in-depth knowledge on the influence of the design principles of a real-world car-sharing system. This could encourage car-sharing…

▼ Past scholarship on community-based natural resource
management and
common-
pool resource governance has provided
insights into the conditions that facilitate self-organization to
improve natural resource management outcomes. While some enabling
conditions are clearly important across contexts, there remains
considerable uncertainty about how socio-cultural heterogeneity
affects collective action in rural communities. Many scholars
suggest that socio-cultural heterogeneity can prohibit collective
action. However, some studies find that socio-cultural
heterogeneous groups can craft institutions that allow them to
address the challenges that such heterogeneity can pose. In my
dissertation, I explore the relationships among socio-cultural
heterogeneity, institutions, and collective action in the context
of watershed management in the United States and in India. I employ
a case study approach and in-depth interviews to examine the
institutional arrangements and mechanisms that allow
socio-culturally groups to act collectively to manage their
watershed. My results suggest that socio-culturally heterogeneous
communities can develop institutions that allow them to overcome
any additional costs to collective action that may result from that
heterogeneity. The analysis suggests that equity, accountability,
symbolic capital, and capacities are key features of institutions
that allow heterogeneous groups to develop good governance
practices. I also explore the dynamic interactions between the
contextual factors (group attributes, community attributes, and
resource attributes) and institutional arrangements and how this
relationship has shaped collective action in these communities. For
instance, a group attribute of small size facilitated an
institution of deliberative decision-making where every member
contributes to decision-making. Institutions have also changed
existing community attributes that prevented members from acting
collectively. This study contributes to the debate about whether
and in which contexts socio-cultural heterogeneity negatively
affects collective action. These results further support other
empirical and theoretical work that demonstrates that
socio-cultural heterogeneity does not prohibit collective action in
all contexts.

▼ Natural resource management in much of the global south is characterized as a shift to governance involving hybrid engagements between neo-liberal states, communities and markets based incentives. Agriculture, a large part of rural livelihoods, turns out to be the largest user of groundwater, an increasingly declining
common pool resource (CPR). India is the world’s largest groundwater extractor for combined agriculture and drinking purposes and offers a challenging arena for groundwater governance. Recent trends in decentralization in the form of community based natural resource management (CBNRM) are slowly making their way to groundwater regulation. This work uses a CPR experiment replicated with students from all disciplines at the University of Michigan (n=50), The University of Delhi (n=75) and residents of six villages in three different states of India (n=360) to study the differences in extraction decisions across locations and livelihoods in a groundwater setting and test theories of collective action involving the concept of social capital. Post experiment surveys and interviews were also conducted to augment and explain the experimental results.
The main findings are that student groups differ from rural participants in extraction choices but only in treatments that involve voting for a costly external enforcement of rule adherence on the commons. While the two student groups were not statistically different in extraction levels across all treatments, Indian students differed from Indian rural participants in the experimental treatment involving a costly external monitor. The variance in decision making by
subject group is attributed to differences in preferences, beliefs and experience. Evidence for this is found in the post game interviews and surveys conducted with each group. This furthers the findings of recent work on the role of social framing in decision making. Additionally, social capital was marginally significant in lowering extraction levels but institutions were more so.
Broadly, my findings indicate that decentralization policy for groundwater will be a negotiated process that needs to consider the tensions within populations. Also, there is a role for the state as an external actor in CBNRM projects since farmers seemed to express a need for fuller citizenship by engaging with the state.

The Bamboo Alternative: a Neglected Opportunity? Exploring the potential of bamboo biomass energy for Forest Landscape Restoration in the Western Region, Ghana – a Livelihoods perspective.

▼ Forests provide both public and private goods and services. Widespread deforestation and forest degradation have a damaging effect on these forest functions. Prevalent efforts have mainly focussed on the inhibition of deforestation. Forest Landscape Restoration comprises of a range of participatory strategies that aim to reverse deforestation and recover the functions of a forest landscape in order to fulfil the short and long term needs of both people and the environment. Bamboo as a resource has many features that are equivalent to those of trees. In theory, this fact, together with its regenerative character, makes it a promising resource for use in Forest Landscape Restoration strategies. In practice however, bamboo generally is an overlooked resource which has not been used for FLR purposes on a large scale. No research had been done as to which factors promote or hamper that its potential is put into practice. This study aimed to fill that knowledge gap.
The research has been founded on theories on
common-
pool resources, collective action and institutions, generating the knowledge that the relation between the people and their environment is not influenced by the de jure property rights to land and
resources solely, but is also based on the more informal institutions that influence people’s use of natural
resources. A case study in the Western Region of Ghana formed the empirical basis for this research. A combination of several qualitative and quantitative methods were used in the Ellembelle and Mpohor Wassa East districts.
In rural Ghana, the provision of firewood and charcoal is one of the most important forest functions for forest-dependent people in their daily life. This study found that where the collection of firewood leads to forest degradation, the logging of trees for charcoal production leads to deforestation. The prevalent decline in firewood is caused by a decline in forest area, mainly for agriculture. For other forest products, the decline is caused by an increase in use. Because of the quality and characteristics of the product, bamboo firewood cannot fully replace but only supplement normal firewood. Based on interviews and focus group discussions with a pilot group who tried bamboo charcoal it was found that high quality bamboo charcoal can replace normal charcoal, although the market price, which is yet unknown, will have a large impact too. People are interested to learn more about bamboo biomass energy, but are generally not interested in developing bamboo plantations on land they depend on for food crops.
The framing of bamboo in current international policy instruments hinders the incorporation of bamboo in environmental development projects. In Ghana, in practice the use of bamboo is not hindered by formal institutions as bamboo is considered an open access resource even on private or
common property land. For people to invest in the resource, institutional arrangements must be put in place to facilitate the conditions for self-organizing groups to guarantee a continued flow of…

▼ Justice in the Global Commons: A Framework of Moral Duties for Common-Pool ResourcesByK. Violet McKeonDoctor of Philosophy in PhilosophyUniversity of California, Irvine, 2015Professor A. James, ChairWe live in an unjust world. While one might agree with this statement, presently there is no consensus about what justice in a global context requires. In my dissertation, I argue for a pluralistic conception of justice that can, in the relevant cases, be “grounded” in shared vital resources, like clean drinking water and a stable climate system. I develop a framework of moral and political duties that all humans have when we share a common plight in virtue of these resources, justified given a general moral contractualism like that proposed by Scanlon. The framework implies that many of the reasons presently given for failing to stabilize or conserve resources that people depend upon, or to enact policies that will do so, are not only immoral but also unjust, even in ungoverned contexts. It offers guidance for many (if not most) situations of shared vital resources, without having to appeal to any independent justifications of “rights.” One notable consequence of supplying a moral mechanism by which present people are obligated to sustainably manage resources on an ongoing basis is that future people will also have the resources they need.

▼ This dissertation consists of three essays that examine product differentiation with new technology and allocation of water. The first article present a theoretical model that analyzes the effect of the introduction of functional food produced with new technology. I model consumer's choice between traditional and functional products in a vertical product differentiation framework with heterogeneous consumers. In addition, this model combines consumer's aversion toward new technology and firm's public relations effort with consumers to promote and improve product image among buyers. The results suggest that the introduction of functional food results into co-existence of both traditional and functional products on food market. But the success of this new food category depends on the consumer's valuation of additional health benefits of consuming functional products and aversion toward new technology utilized in the their production process.The second article is the empirical analysis of the consumer response toward new functional food products in Uzbekistan on the example of apples enriched with antioxidant coating. I conduct consumer surveys with two different information treatments. A dichotomous-choice contingent valuation methodology is utilized to estimate willingness to pay for this product and analyze factors that affect consumer choice. The results suggest that the average Uzbek respondent is willing to purchase functional apples with a 6 percent discount. The effect of information regarding the potential health benefits of antioxidants is positive and statistically significant.The third article examines how the management of the commons in this region affects individual strategic behavior. We conduct an experiment with farmers from Uzbekistan in which two policies are analyzed, a penalty and a bonus. The paper studies a non-cooperative game and identifies the efficient use of water for irrigation. We compare our theoretical results with the experimental observations. The results suggest that the penalty and bonus mechanisms are effective in reducing individual water appropriation compared to the benchmark case in which these mechanisms are absent.

▼ This thesis is about the work of Nordel, an advisory body set up in 1963 by the largest power companies in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The purpose of Nordel was to strengthen and consolidate Nordic cooperation in the production and transmission of electrical power. The analysis has been conducted by using Elinor Ostrom’s framework for studying common-pool resources, which is described in her book Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action (1990). The thesis concludes that Nordel reaffirmed the bilateral practises already established by the individual power companies and was circumscribed by national energy policies. Nordel’s main contribution to the Nordic cooperation was to act as a forum for common technical issues and general aims, and as a knowledge-producing organisation.

▼ Natural
resources have become a critical focus for rural development programmes. In the past many families in rural areas relied upon small scale agriculture as the primary source of income for the household. These households would typically depend on social welfare payments and seasonal work as a secondary source of employment. However with the rising cost of production and a declining price for agriculture products, small scale agriculture was no longer a reliable source of income. This created structural weaknesses for many peripheral rural areas. As a result there has been much focus placed upon diversifying rural economies with a high priority placed on natural
resources. This is typified by the Axis 3 programme under the National Development Plan 2007-2013, which cites natural
resources as a valuable means to diversify local economies and compensate for the fall off in agriculture. The model of development within this plan has focused upon maximising community participation in natural resource based industries.
Such a model immediately introduces the issue of management as many of these
resources are finite and
subject to depletion. It is imperative that they are managed sustainably as the future needs of rural communities rely upon their continued survival. The most obvious solution would be for the state to take control of management. However questions have been raised over this, mainly due to enforcement difficulties and the fact that the state can often prioritise goals of economic growth over resource sustainability. Consequently much attention has been placed upon decentralised management where the resource users take control of management and devise cooperative strategies to safeguard the resource in the long run. Mckean (1992) has outlined a number of important institutional factors which can improve the likely success of local self-governance. The important features in Mckean's model include restricting access to members of the local community, developing and enforcing rules and establishing local leaders to give the project energy and a focus. She also cites the importance of support from the state where local institutions are given financial assistance and provided with real property rights over the resource.
In spite of this, in-depth empirical accounts of local self-governance are absent in the literature on Ireland¿s resource management. Given the high priority now placed on natural
resources, this issue should be considered of significant importance. This thesis examines the scope of local self-governance through a case study of mussel farming in Killary harbour, one of Ireland¿s largest aquacultural sites. Killary harbour is an interesting area to conduct this study as it is located in North West Connemara, an underdeveloped region in the west of Ireland, where natural resource have been trumpeted as a means to address local peripherality and decline. Furthermore there was a local co-operative that effectively managed the mussel stocks in Killary for a 20 year period, only for it to…

▼ This research applied the social network approach to unveil the social structure underlying the members of two traditional irrigation systems (TISs) in Sonora. This research used two TIS case studies representing rural communities located in arid and semiarid lands in the Sonoran Desert region, in the northwestern part of Mexico. The irrigators represented a subset of rural villages where everyone knew everyone else. The theoretical framework in this study suggested that social embeddedness of the economic activities of TIS irrigators is an important factor supporting their local institutions. Irrigators who are socially embedded posses more social capital that help them in overcoming social dilemmas. Evidence of social embeddedness is theoretically incomplete when not related to a tangible dimension of the TIS's performance. This research also dealt with the difficulty of assessing the sustainability or successfulness of a TIS. The results showed that the irrigators sharing a rural village are entangled in a mesh of social ties developed in different social settings. The most salient variable was family; cooperative ties within the irrigation system tend to overlap more than the expected by chance with kinship relationships. Likewise, irrigators had a strong preference for peers geographically close or those within the same irrigation subsector. Finally, the qualitative part of the study did not reveal the presence of severe social dilemmas. Irrigators in each community have developed successful forms of local arrangements to overcome the provision and appropriation issues typical of
common pool resources. Nevertheless, the qualitative analysis revealed that there are other socioeconomic variables undermining the sustainability of the systems, such as migration, water shortages and social capacity of the systems.

▼ This dissertation explores some of the thousands of smaller Native American archaeological sites with meager architectural elements commonly found along part of the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau in east-central Arizona in an area known as the Mogollon Plateau. Small surface structures of less than five rooms were typically built of a combination of stone masonry and wattle and daub, and they are generally interpreted as evidence of repeated occupations of limited duration, primarily dating between AD 800 and 1300. Accordingly, these small sites have also served a number of roles in ongoing discussions of settlement systems and land use, and they present challenges for cultural
resources management. The fundamental characteristics (or lack thereof) typically used to classify small sites have traditionally relegated them to settlement pattern studies rather than extensive excavation, generating a broad range of hypotheses concerning their significance and drawing heavily upon historical ecology. GIS methods are used to explore several ecologically and socially-driven models and examine the roles of small architectural sites in archaeological and systemic landscapes.
Common pool resources offer some explanatory power regarding small sites, but some have suggested competition and conflict led to a "tragedy of the commons" and environmental degradation. Two primary site concentrations are identified, and the evidence supports an interpretation of extensive and sustainable use of the area, much of which seems to have been a frontier. Recommendations for research-driven management and preservation of cultural
resources are provided.

▼ In an era of 'global' oceans crisis, marine conservationists have issued a resounding call to increase the spatial scale of ocean conservation. This dissertation examines the drivers and implications of recent efforts to scale up ocean conservation in places simultaneously celebrated for their revival of community-based conservation: the Pacific Islands region, the Micronesian sub-region, and the nation of Palau. Toward this end, this research engages and advances critical human geography theory on scalar politics and institutional theory on the governance of
common pool resources to address the overarching questions: why and how are state and non-state actors rescaling ocean conservation, and with what social, political, and institutional consequences? These questions are approached empirically through a multi-sited case study that ethnographically tracks institutions, actors, funding, and agendas from the 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity to five Pacific Island nations and territories, revealing the links among macro and micro level processes in diverse political and geographical spaces. This research conceptualizes the rescaling of ocean conservation as an integral component of social struggles for empowerment. Results illustrate how state and non-state actors pursue their contextually specific goals by working together to scale up the objects of ocean conservation. The means through which they achieve rescaling include discursive framings, performative acts, and institutional changes. Most significantly, these `scalar practices' have resulted in empowerment of environmental non-governmental organizations and Pacific Island governments within multi-level conservation governance processes; accumulation of international attention and funding at the regional level in Micronesia; and reduced local autonomy for conservation governance in Palau. Overall, this work contributes an empirically grounded, theoretically engaged, and policy-relevant analysis of the scalar politics and institutional dynamics that are reshaping the actors, objectives, and institutions of contemporary ocean conservation across multiple levels of governance. Conclusions advance theory on the scalar dimensions of environmental governance by conceptualizing regions as strategically constructed tools of environmental politics; expanding understanding of the form and function of multi-level regimes for the governance of large
common pool resources; and advancing constructive theoretical dialogue between critical human geographers and institutional theorists. This work may also inform policy discussions by illuminating complex tradeoffs that result from scalar rearrangements.

▼ Commercial water bottling has become an increasingly controversial topic. Over the past decade the bottled water industry in the United States has witnessed tremendous growth. In 2005 alone bottled water sales in the U.S. were estimated at
close to 10 billion dollars (Beverage Marketing Corporation 2005). These record sales are occurring at a time when communities where water bottling is taking place or is primed to take place are beginning to question this commodification. This thesis
looks the commodification of water bottling through the lens of a North Florida community where plans for a proposed water-bottling facility are being meet with heavy community opposition. This thesis examines how local residents opposed to this
commercialization of spring water are examining new ways in which to preserve the commons. These new methods of preservation involve framing the springscape, a term developed in this research project as a common pool resource to achieve local water
security.

▼ This PhD dissertation represents an effort to understand individual behavior leading to decisions regarding natural resource use and compliance with conservation policy at the government and at the community levels through the analysis of specific cases in the Brazilian Amazon. I first analyze the case of smallholder land clearing along the Transamazon and BR-163 highways in the face of Brazilian Forest Code enforcement by the federal government. My hypothesis is that smallholder land clearing paths over time are affected by assessments of the probability of being caught violating the Forest Code. I develop a dynamic decision model that considers the potential benefits and costs accrued from land clearing through time by a representative smallholder and include her perception of the probability of Forest Code enforcement, unobserved to the researcher. I apply an endogenous switching regressions econometric model to data collected with a sample of 542 households in 2003 and 2013/14. I find that longer land tenure frontiers where there are opportunities for smallholders to transition to cattle grazing from agriculture deserve the attention of enforcement of land clearing laws and restrictions and that the use of the forest by a smallholder is a protective signal that must be considered and encouraged. My results suggest that alleged government efforts to enforce the Forest Code among smallholders in the sample region have been ineffective. The second case I analyze is that of fisher households that enforce community fishing agreements, known as accords, in the floodplains of the Amazon River surrounding the city of Santarém. My hypothesis is that individual households benefit from their own fishing accords enforcement effort through fishing time savings. A factor demand analysis applied to data collected with over 600 households reveals that statistically important drivers of labor demand and fuel include the level of dedication of a household and its history in implementing fishing accords, the landscape, the flood cycle, the distance to the main regional market and biomass. The average household fishing time savings from enforcing accords range between 59 and 36 eight-hour days for a six-month-period, an important argument for continuing the enterprise.

Weed Control as a Collective Action Problem: Quantifying group effects on individual behavior, and clarifying the theoretical frame.

▼ Weeds reduce the biodiversity and productivity of agricultural systems, and are a problem both around the world, and in Montana. Weeds are challenging to control because their effective dispersal mechanisms enable cross-boundary colonization, and so managers must engage diverse groups of private landowners. Researchers have recognized weed control is a collective action problem, but there is little research quantifying the role of collective factors on an individual’s decision to control. To fully understand the motivations behind independent weed control, I initiated a study to quantitatively assess different types of landowners and their weed control behaviors, the relationship between collective interest variables and individual landowners’ willingness to engage in weed control behaviors. I identified a k-means cluster analysis as a way to segment the Montana landowner population, and the Collective Interest Model as a way to understand the influence of collective factors on an individual’s decision to control for weeds, while holding individual factors constant. I surveyed 4,500 Montana landowners, and analyzed results using descriptives and ordinarily least squares regression. I found five different groups of landowners, and that collective factors, such as an injunctive norm and the belief weeds are a cross boundary problem, were significantly correlated with willingness to engage in three different weed control behaviors. This suggests if weed control outreach explicitly promotes collective messages, it may be able to more effectively engage landowners. In addition, I believe that weed control has been mis-classified in the literature as a common pool resource problem, instead it should be considered a public good problem. I present reasoning that weeds are a public good problem and draw on solutions to public good problems generally and adapt them to weed control.

▼ The Basque province of Soule (department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France) contains more than 14,000 hectares of common-pool land. This land provides numerous resources, most notably summer pasturage, to the animal raisers of the province
who, for centuries, have collectively managed that land under a common property regime. Under this system, the animal raisers must operate within boundaries first set by the French state and later added to by the European Union, although as long as their
management actions do not violate those boundaries they operate with relative autonomy. Recent years, though, have seen both the French state and the European Union take a more active interest in commons management. At the same time, biodiversity
conservation has arisen as a chief concern of the international community and of EU policy-makers. In 1992, the European Commission passed the Habitats Directive, which, together with the Birds Directive, creates a pan-European network of areas to be
managed for social, economic, and ecological sustainability. This network, called Natura 2000, is made up of conservation sites on both public and private lands, and the common lands of Soule are covered almost in their entirety by Natura 2000 sites. The
implementation of Natura 2000 is pushing the current system toward one of co-management between resource users, state agencies, and other stakeholders yet to be identified. This dissertation research examines the co-management process that is slowly
emerging and compares it to the existing management regime. I discuss how relations between Basques and the French state combine with features of the implementation process to create resistance. I then examine the major themes of resistance and their
origins, and explore the particularities that must be considered when moving from common property to co-management. This research not only involved Basque farmers, but also regional, national, and supra-national authority figures, government technicians,
and NGO representatives. As a result, it provides a more complete and clear picture of the implementation process and affords the opportunity to examine how different actors across the scale of implementation define and judge success in conservation
policy-implementation.

▼ Objetivos. a) analisar os fatores associados à criação de relações de sinergia entre poder público e sociedade no âmbito do Consórcio Intermunicipal das Bacias Hidrográficas dos rios Piracicaba, Capivari e Jundiaí, assim como a contribuição desta organização para a gestão dos recursos hídricos na região; e b) contribuir para as discussões sobre novas formas de institucionalidade na gestão de recursos naturais. Metodologia. A metodologia de pesquisa combina três instrumentais complementares: pesquisa documental, um survey aplicado a membros do Consórcio em uma amostra aleatória, e questionários complementares com atoreschave, utilizando como suporte para a análise a ferramenta organizacional IAD (Institutional Analysis and Development). Resultados. Os resultados explicitam que características relacionadas ao contexto físico e político, às formas das relações e articulações estabelecidas entre os atores, e o estabelecimento de relações interinstitucionais e intersetoriais no contexto de gestão dos recursos hídricos possibilitaram a emergência de sinergia no caso estudado. A experiência do Consórcio PCJ na gestão dos recursos hídricos foi pioneira no Estado e mesmo no País, tendo contribuído para avanços significativos não apenas regionalmente, com nos níveis estadual e nacional. Apesar disso, ainda se observam dificuldades na inclusão de maior heterogeneidade no processo de participação na gestão desses recursos. Considerações. No caso do Consórcio PCJ, falta ainda ampliar o acesso ao diálogo com uma parcela mais abrangente da população, contribuindo de forma mais efetiva para a formação de processos educativos que ampliem a quantidade e qualidade da participação social nos processos de gestão dos recursos hídricos. Abordando as possibilidades de uma nova institucionalidade na gestão de recursos naturais, o estudo indica a importância da formulação de políticas públicas que apóiem e fomentem: a) o envolvimento de instituições já consolidadas na catalização de processos de articulação entre outras instituições em torno de objetivos comuns; b) o diálogo entre poder público, iniciativa privada e sociedade civil organizada; c) o diálogo entre diferentes escalas na esfera institucional; e d) a constituição de processos pedagógicos que qualifiquem e ampliem a participação da sociedade nos mesmos.
Objectives. a) to analyze the factors related to the creation of state-society relations in the \"Consórcio Intermunicipal das Bacias Hidrográficas dos rios Piracicaba, Capivari e Jundiaí\", as well as the contribution of this organization to the management of water resources in that region; b) to contribute to the proposal of new models of institutionality on natural resources management. Methodology. The research methodology combines three complementary instruments: documental research, a random sampling survey of members of the \"Consórcio\", and complementary surveys with key-actors, using as a support to the analysis the IAD (Institutional Analysis and Development) organizational tool. Results. Analysis of the data collected…
