“…As collusion in general, each player has an incentive to deviate from the agreement leading to the collapse of the collusion. This is apparently what happens in case of the Galician communal forests (Caballero, ) and of Swedish forest commons (Holmgren et al, ).…”

Triggered by the article titled “The tragedy of the commons” by Hardin, a collectively‐managed resource (CMR) emerges and becomes a highly fruitful discussion topic. Furthermore, Ostrom augments the topic and demonstrates that the utilization of a CMR should not always result in a tragedy. However, the theory used to justify Hardin's tragedy differs from the one used to justify Ostrom's comity; Hardin's tragedy is justified by one‐shot prisoners' dilemma (PD), while Ostrom's comity is justified by infinitely repeated PD. The discussion in this study shows that Hardin's tragedy and Ostrom's comity can be supported by the same theory. An infinitely repeated PD complemented with a likelihood of making an error is used to reach the conclusion that the occurrences of Hardin's tragedy and Ostrom's comity are just a matter of probability. Recommendations for Resource Managers To avoid as far as possible placing divisible resources under the common property regime. To develop effective monitoring systems for resource management under the common property regime to stop deviations as early as possible. To facilitate resource users involved in resource utilization under the common property regime to meet and to communicate regularly to increase mutual trust.

“…It is applied in the management field to derive practical policy considerations and measures for solving social problems. Several institutional studies have been carried out in different disciplines, such as forestry management [12,13], construction management [14], water management [15][16][17], and ecosystem service [18]. This body of research formed the initial basis of the institutional analytical framework adopted in the current work.…”

Given a lack of consideration for the role and importance of stakeholders and the importance of stakeholders in the operation of biomass power plants in China, a comprehensive analysis oriented toward stakeholder risk management is needed to further develop the country’s biomass energy industry. Accordingly, we analyzed institutional factors that contribute to or constrain progress in biomass power generation in China. Data were collected from 275 straw suppliers (farmers) living around a biomass power plant, 15 middlemen, five power plant managers, and five local government officers. Interviews were held with all the participants, but questionnaires were additionally administered to the straw suppliers. Results showed that: (1) risk transfer in the biomass supply chain is one of the reasons why farmers are unwilling to supply straw; (2) middlemen are vital intermediaries between biomass power plant managers and farmers as a middleman-based biomass supply system is necessary to guarantee the quantity of straw supply, and; (3) the institutional structure that underlies the Chinese biomass energy industry is immature.

“…Apart from providing Toxo, peasants also used the monte to provide themselves with wood for building, making fences etc., heating and gathered other products, including fruits, mushrooms and medicinal herbs [67]. In recent decades, this traditional multifunctional pattern of land-use of the monte has been gradually replaced by monoculture timber plantations, primarily consisting of Pinus pinaster (pine) and Eucalyptus globulus (mostly planted in coastal areas) [68]. More recently, plantations increasingly contain Eucalyptus nitens (a eucalyptus species that is more resistant to cold, and, thus, suitable for planting in the interior, higher, monte areas) [69].…”

Socially-Inclusive Development and Value Creation: How a Composting Project in Galicia (Spain) ‘Hit the Rocks’

2018

This paper introduces the concept of commoning in circular economies, and explores how commons reproduce over time. The starting point is that commoning can have an important role in fostering circular economies and sustainable and socially-inclusive development. By commoning, we refer to local stakeholders working collectively to preserve or restore their natural resource base to generate benefits that are locally shared. Through the analysis of a specific case of a group of commoners' associations in Galicia (Spain), the paper describes and discusses the development, and ultimate unravelling, of an innovative and decentralized waste management project to convert waste biomass from the monte (often-neglected upland green spaces, largely consisting of brush and trees) into compost. In order to make this composting project economically viable the possibility of collecting and processing urban green waste was also explored. While the project's application of the principles of a circular economy had the potential to bring locally-shared economic and ecological benefits, and foster territorial prosperity and resilience, it was ultimately frustrated by questions of scale, administrative and regulatory barriers, competing and conflicting land-use claims and financial cutbacks in the public sector.
