Global wildlife markets and whale conservation | Case |
| This case study coincides with a master’s thesis project conducted by Melanie Sturm in 2013-2014. It is an analysis of the relevance for wildlife markets to meet conservation objectives. Markets stand to be instrumental as more natural resources face the risk of overexploitation and/ or under-provision of proper control mechanisms and supporting infrastructure. Granted, market solutions are not a panacea, but there are settings and species for which rights-based management is appropriate, and... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Gondalpur irrigation system, Punjab province, Pakistan | Case |
| Gondalpur Irrigation system is located in Punjab Province in Pakistan. The resource appropriated related to the social dilemma is water for irrigation diverted with barrages from rivers to be distributed through canals. The original case was reported in 1986 and catalogues an action situation involving 50 farmers. The main watercourse of the village has serious problems in maintenance and water allocation. The author argues that the minute subdivision of land, the absence of an indigenous local... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Grazing, Fire, and Australian Rangeland Dynamics, New South Wales, Australia | Case |
| The ecology of savanna rangelands is the product of a dynamic interaction between grass, shrubs, fire and livestock, and a high variability in rainfall. Humans play an important role in these dynamics by raising livestock who graze, and by suppressing fire. The authors of this case explore the implications of these human activities for the resilience of the Australian rangelands, characterized by two main stable states. The first state is dominated by grasses with scattered trees and shrubs.... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Gwembe Tonga land tenure, Zambezi Valley, Zambia | Case |
| Arable land in this case, following Ostrom (2005: 24), is both a common pool resource and a public good. Bush land used for shifting cultivation is a common pool resource. Rights to this land belong to whoever clears it. There are virtually no rules governing access, except acceptance into a community that claims the bush land as part of its territory. Gaining acceptance is a simple matter of asking permission or just establishing residence in a place. River land is a common pool resource.... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Haskovo's Irrigation System A, southern Bulgaria | Case |
| The Haskovo region is located along the southern border of Bulgaria near both Turkey and Greece. The four study sites contained within the case study are deliberately kept anonymous but are representative of seventeen village case studies conducted in three regions of Bulgaria and were chosen because distorting variables could be excluded in these cases. The Haskovo study sites include smaller irrigation catchment areas and definite numbers of actors and are managed by the water users... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Haskovo's Irrigation System B, southern Bulgaria | Case |
| The Haskovo region is located along the southern border of Bulgaria near both Turkey and Greece. The four study sites contained within the case study are deliberately kept anonymous but are representative of seventeen village case studies conducted in three regions of Bulgaria and were chosen because distorting variables could be excluded in these cases.

Heterogeneity in the Commons: Hard Infrastructure and Its Effects on Collective Action and Public Goods Provisioning | Case |
| We compare three artisanal fisheries (Case No. 9: Lagoon fishery in Greece; Case No. 10: Kembong fishery in Thailand; and Case No. 15: Green turtle fishery in Nicaragua) and tangentially draw on three small-scale irrigation systems (Case No. 53 and Case No. 60 in South India, and Case No. 73 in Bangladesh) in order to understand the impact of hard infrastructure on the prospects of collective action with specific reference to the rules-in-use related to common pool resource (CPR) management. ... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Historical forest common property regime, Slovakia, central Europe | Case |
| The forestry sector has traditionally been a strong resort in most of Central European countries, as the forest covers approximately 30 – 40 % of the their territories. The management of forest resources is characterized by existence of a long forestry tradition, and dynamic evolution of the forest ownership structure originated in 17th century. These systems have been experiencing a range of disturbances, including change of political regimes, economic conditions and environmental changes that... | 09 Aug 2016 |
