WHY SUCH A DIFFICULT CONCEPT?
• Very long-term use -> long history of potential “misuse”
• Hardin: application of concept of commons on global resources with different features than
• Conceptual “overstretch” of term commons: features of open access resources without controls imposed on access and use
• Local example for problems on global scale
• Linkage of wrong features (e.g. lack of communication means)
• In an era of emerging awareness about environmental problems
• Negative connotation to collective use not new but can now be contrasted to “consolidated” private an state solutions
• Ostrom: Return to original features of concept but broadening to other types of resources (a.o. Irrigation commons)
• Today: applied to many different resources and services AND types of collectivities

WHY DOES THE CURRENT “PARADIGM SHIFT” SEEM REVOLUTIONARY?
• We have forgotten about the collectivity as a „valid‟ organisational unit
18th century:
-The “individual” becomes the central unit in society (Enlightenment)
-rationalisation of agriculture through Physiocratie
19th century: Nation State:
-introduction of code civil as legal basis for individual rights
-organisation of society becomes centralised, including legal and economic basis
-> 1750s-1850s: implementation of regional and national legislations across Europe to abolish/split up/sell the commons
e.g. Belgium, 1847: “Loi sur le défrichement” = in fact a privatisation law
-> by middle 19th century: centralised dissolution of common land all over Western Europe

ONCE UPON A TIME IN EUROPE…
• « Land that is managed and used in common »
• Different terms:
• Dutch: gemene grond, heirnis, meent, markegenootschap…
• German: Markgenossenschaften, Allemende,…
• In Europe: originated mainly in 12th-13th century, during/after Great Reclamations (10-12th century)
• Mixed agricultural system demanded balance between arable and pasture land
• In reaction to pressure on mixed-agricultural system as reaction to demographic pressure
• Main aim of institutionalisation: achieving balance in exploitation level
• Often as land conflict settlements between lords and villagers
• Divided rights on same piece of land
• Beforehand: common use of land within family-clan-tribe

COMMONS AND GUILDS HAVE SOME CLEAR SIMILARITIES WITH WORKERS COOPS TODAYDefinition: A Cooperative is a business owned and controlled by thepeople that it services
• 3 IMPORTANT FEATURES:
• member-owned (economic participation)
• member-controlled (democratic decision making)
• aimed at a delivery of “member benefits”
Co-op principles Guilds Commons
Voluntary and open membership Yes/No Yes
Democratic member control Yes Yes
Member economic participation Yes Yes
Autonomy and independence Yes Yes
Education and training Yes No
Co-operation among co-operatives Sometimes No
Concern for community Yes Yes

TOOLS USED TO FACILITATE THE HISTORICAL COMMONS
• Right to vote in meetings (linked to household)
• Obligation to attend meetings
• Election of representatives
• Rotation of responsibilities (incl. the annoying ones)
• Intensive social control and sanctions for malefactors
• Liability of those who shirk responsibility

WHICH MOTIVATIONS DID AND DO COMMONERS HAVE IN COMMON?
• Economies of scale
• Collective bargaining position towards authorities
• Sharing risks and resources
• Lower search and information costs
• internal agreement on the price of the goods • collective meetings with compulsory attendance
• Reduced transaction costs due to group-based access regulation
• Keeping close to local economies, shorten the chain
BUT WHY ?
Reaction to periods of increased commercialisation, privatisation and subsequent market failure

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ICAS IN THE PAST AND TODAY
• Goals have been “split-up”:
• Historical:
• Social and economic benefits/purposes brought together into one collective
• Consumption and production together
• Now: participating in several different collectivities is essential to provide for all everyday needs
-> Disadvantage:
• Reduces the opportunities for using reciprocal behaviour as a complementary incentive
• To provide for all needs, one needs to be a member of severaldifferent collectivities
• Memberships of individual members last considerably shorter
• Life span of modern institutions is remarkably shorter than life span of institutions that emerged in the first wave
-> less resilient institutions? Tine De Moor_Utrecht University

A THREE-DIMENSIONAL APPROACH TO COMMONS

USERS
RESILIENCE

THE CHALLENGE TO COMMONS-RESEARCHERS & PRACTITIONERS IN GENERAL
Be specific & clear! Not everything is a common!
Resilience, not stability!
To avoid vulnerability to crises and system instability Evolution and change in respons to changing external conditions Efficiency, utility and equity need to be in balance
Consider how to make sure that the commons as governance model become a choice out of wealth, out of positive choice, instead out of need
ULTIMATE GOAL: a society with a high degree of institutional diversity, including commons
-> Identify the circumstances under which commons can be organisations that offer high resource efficiency, high user utility and very equitable institutions so that RESILIENCE becomes possible -> identify the circumstances and resources for which commons do not work as governance model

THREE ADVISES TO GOVERNMENTS
INSTITUTIONS:Offer room to
citizens to design indpendently
their own rules and management structures (within the boundaries of
the law
RESOURCES: Note that not all
resources are suitable to be governed as a
common
USERS:Provide use
rights to those who provide products and
services

STEPS NEEDED TO “INTEGRATE” ICAS/COMMONS IN CURRENT GOVERNANCE MODEL
GOVERNMENTMARKET
CITIZENS‟COLLECTIVES
1. VALUE AND EVALUATE: -embrace & trust existing initiatives-recognise their potential-evaluate equally-give initiatives the change to fail
2. EXPLORE-which goods and services can benefit from a bigger rol for the collectivity? -wat are the conditions for success?
3. FACILITATE-create a juridical and operational framework to set-up initiatives easily-PublicCollectivePartnerships-Institutions-in-a-box
4. MONITOR & CONTROLMake sure interaction between civil collectivity and market are corrected when needed

DECISION MAKING POWER
OWNERSHIP RESPONSIBILITY
-> including dealing with negative consequences!
-> experience the effect of improvements and involvedment by stakeholders instead of shareholders; participation in profit of various kinds
A PUBLIC-COLLECTIVE-PARTNERSHIP WILL BE A DIFFICULT BALANCING ACT
-> about the reasons and
„format” of the solution
