“…Subsequent studies to implement, enrich, and revise the design principles in various aspects. Studies have revealed, for instance, the missing question of power within the design principles (Mudliar & Koontz, 2021); lack of examination of multiple rationalities underpinning the collective choice to govern the commons (Singleton, 2017); and embeddedness of the actors within various institutions and networks across different level often with different norms and interest, and therefore defy the view of homogeneity within communities of resource users (Agrawal & Gibson, 1999;Cleaver & de Koning, 2015). (Saunders, 2014) concludes that the CPR theory tends to be detached from the context since it explains the institutions governing the CPR more through actors involved in voluntary exchanges through mutual agreement and expect shared benefits than those in conflictual and unequal power relationships.…”

“…Ostrom's eight design principles can show us to determine whether a commons is successful or not. While retaining the principles to examine the case, this study will consider the challenges put forward by previous studies around power relations, cultural contexts, heterogeneity of rationalities underpinning the choice made by involved actors choice (Cleaver & de Koning, 2015;Mosse, 2006;Mudliar & Koontz, 2021;Saunders, 2014;Singleton, 2017). In other words, the principle designs will be unpacked with a critical institutionalism approach (Cleaver & de Koning, 2015;Jones, 2015).…”

Commoning the State Forest: Crafting Commons through an Indonesian Social Forestry Program

Studies of the commons grew out of responses to Hardin's bleak prediction of “tragedy of the commons,” that without state intervention or privatization, any commons will eventually be destroyed by allegedly self-interested users. As such, the commons studies traditionally tend to demonstrate cases where common pool resources (CPR) can be sustainably managed by groups of people beyond the state and market interventions. This paper shows a case from Sulawesi, Indonesia, where a state social forestry program can create a space for the program beneficiaries to build a commons. Through fieldwork that involves participant observation and in-depth interviews with program extension workers and beneficiaries in two social forestry farmer groups, this study found that the program can stimulate beneficiary groups to build collective action in managing the state forest plots admitted to them and that the two groups are the only successful ones among 14 neighboring groups that are involved in the same program. The study also shows that the management of the state-sponsored commons requires extension workers with deep knowledge about local people and landscape, economic incentives, and the flexibility of the local state agency in bending the rules based on bottom-up demands. Therefore, the case study shows that, on the one hand, the state program can actually stimulate the creation of the commons. On the other hand, commoning seems to be the only way to ensure a successful social forestry program.

“…For example, is their relationship to governing processes, and to the others involved, an experience of empowerment and agency, or rather of marginalization and disempowerment? Power dynamics are important for understanding such processes, and power dynamics more broadly are increasingly recognized as important in environmental governance (Boonstra 2016;Van Assche et al 2017;Morrison et al 2019), but lack integration into commons and institutional analysis literature (Epstein et al 2014;Cornea et al 2016;Cleaver and Whaley 2018;Mudliar and Koontz 2021).…”

The concept of commoning is continuing to gain scholarly interest, with multiple definitions and interpretations across different research communities. In this article, we define commoning as the actions by groups with shared interests towards creating shared social and relational processes as the basis of governance strategy. Perhaps it can be more simply defined as collective ways of relating and governing. This article addresses two specific gaps in the commoning literature: (1) to bridge disparate strands of literature on commoning by briefly reviewing each and arguing for integration through epistemic pluralism, and (2) to explicitly examine how power is manifest in commoning processes by bringing in a framework on power (i.e., power over, power with, power to, power within) to understand the links between power and commoning governance processes in two case studies. The two cases are tourism governance on Gili Trawangan, Indonesia and aquatic food production systems in Bulacan, Philippines. We preface this analysis with the argument that power is an integral part of the commoning concept, but that it has yet to be analytically integrated to applications of the broader institutional analysis and development framework or within the networks of action situations approach. We argue that by making explicit how an analysis of power can be coupled to a network of action situations analysis in a qualitative way, we are advancing a key feature of the commoning concept, which we introduce as rooted in epistemic and analytical pluralism in the analysis of governance. In the discussion, we expand on how each case study reveals each of the four power dynamics, and how they improve the understanding of commoning as a pluralistic and perhaps bridging analytical concept.

“…O IAD requer orientação por esses princípios, explicando o desenho de políticas em seus diferentes aspectos relativos às arenas de ação (Blomquist & DeLeon, 2011;Heikkila & Andersson, 2018;Ostrom, 2011;Polski & Ostrom, 1999). As arenas de ação preenchem a lacuna de uma perspectiva instrumental do desenho de políticas públicas, compreendendo seus aspectos de poder (Mudliar & Koontz, 2020), as escolhas sociais (Ostrom, 2005) e a avaliação e ação que produzem os resultados das políticas. O desenho de políticas correlaciona os objetivos das políticas, dos atores e de seus interesses, as regras que estruturam os elementos constitutivos, as escolhas sociais e os aspectos operacionais para explicar os resultados e as possibilidades de avaliação orientadas para a constituição de robustez política (Anderies, Janssen, & Ostrom, 2004).…”

Resumo Este artigo examina a política orientada por dados para cidades inteligentes e como o Institutional Analysis and Development Framework (IAD) se posiciona como uma ferramenta para analisar o design da governança de dados e de política de dados. A pesquisa realizada neste artigo sobre políticas baseadas em dados parte da premissa de que um projeto orientado por dados sustenta iniciativas de cidades inteligentes e incorpora dilemas de ação coletiva, impactando diretamente o desenho da política e da governança de dados. A motivação do artigo foi examinar dos componentes da estrutura IAD e componentes constitutivos da política de dados que orientam sua governança em sistemas complexos de transformação digital. O artigo é um ensaio que pretende levantar discussões sobre dados em cidades inteligentes e como o desenho de políticas compreende os conflitos de ação coletiva motivados pelo controle de dados.
