GLOBAL CONNECTIONS AND LOCAL RESPONSES
Research on the commons deals either with the development of institutions for the management of the commons, or with issues related to global change. While the latter mainly focuses on drivers and effects of global expansion of capitalist modes of production, consumption, and societal reproduction, research on institutions for the management of the commons deals with collective action and the effects and reactions within local action arenas. However, the entangled institutional processes through which global and local arenas – referred to as “glocal” – interlock are not yet addressed in a systematic way.
