“…We explore the first proposition related to "what is governed" through analysis of the results of a participatory diagnosis of landscape-level natural resource management problems carried out by AHI in sites distributed throughout the eastern African highlands (German et al 2006b;2008). Posing a common set of questions to socially-disaggregated focus groups of farmers (selected on the basis of gender, wealth, age and location of their plots on the landscape), landscapelevel NRM concerns of local residents in select sites of Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania were identified (see German et al 2006c for the methodology).…”

“…These debates have often hinged on an assumption of neat boundaries between different forms of resource tenure (public, private, communal). While there is a growing body of literature acknowledging the linkages and blurred boundaries between discrete property types, rights holders and property regimes 1 (Vondal 1987;Bruce et al 1993;Geisler 1993;Ostrom 1994;Quiggin 1995;Schmid 2001;Fairfax et al 2004;Shahar 2008;Sikor 2008b), these categories continue to frame many of the academic debates on natural resource tenure and governance. In this paper, we argue that many contemporary natural resource management challenges do not fall within neatly inscribed units or categories of resource ownership or governance, but are characterized rather by their interdependencies.…”

“Hybrid institutions”: Applications of common property theory beyond discrete tenure regimes

Property rights theory has contributed a great deal to global understanding of the factors shaping the management, governance and sustainability of discrete property regimes (individual, State, commons). Yet as the commons become increasingly altered and enclosed and management challenges extend beyond the boundaries of any given unit of property, institutional theory must extend beyond discrete property regimes. This paper argues that as natural resource management challenges grow more complex and interconnected, common property theory in the Ostrom tradition remains an essential component of successful management solutions -for common pool resources, public and private goods alike. Building on the commons and externality literature in general, and the Ostrom and Coasean traditions in particular, we propose the use of the term "hybrid institution" to explore the governance of common or connected interests within and between diverse property regimes. Following a general introduction to a set of propositions for encompassing this expanded realm of application of commons theory, we use the literature on integrated natural resource management to frame the scope of "commons" issues facing rural communities today. Empirical and action research from eastern Africa and logical arguments are each used to illustrate and sharpen the focus of our propositions so that they can be tested and refined in future research. This analysis demonstrates the instrumental potential of the concept of hybrid institutions as a framework for shaping more productive engagements with seemingly intractable natural 572 Laura Anne German and Andrew Keeler resource management challenges at farm and landscape scale. Our analysis suggests that central elements of the Ostrom and Coasean traditions can be complementary explanatory lenses for contemporary resource conflict and management.

“…One problem is that, in juxtaposing state and nonstate law, the state is sometimes viewed as a monolithic entity sharply distinct from society (Gilissen 1971, Woodman 1998Moore 2001, p. 107;Griffiths 2002, pp. 296-97;Shahar 2008), although already the legal realists in the 1930s established the internal pluralism of the state (Tsuk Mitchell 2007, pp. 55-58, 75-77).…”

Some challenges of legal globalization closely resemble those formulated earlier for legal pluralism: the irreducible plurality of legal orders, the coexistence of domestic state law with other legal orders, the absence of a hierarchically superior position transcending the differences. This review discusses how legal pluralism engages with legal globalization and how legal globalization utilizes legal pluralism. It demonstrates how several international legal disciplines-comparative law, conflict of laws, public international law, and European Union law-have slowly begun to adopt some ideas of legal pluralism. It shows how traditional themes and questions of legal pluralism-the definition of law, the role of the state, of community, and of space-are altered under conditions of globalization. It addresses interrelations between different legal orders and various ways, both theoretical and practical, to deal with them. And it provides an outlook on the future of global legal pluralism as theory and practice of global law.

“…Conforme verificado muitas vezes na literatura pluralista, o limite entre o ordenamento jurídico estatal, o oficial, e outras formas, é vago e nem sempre permite uma clara distinção. 66 Até agora, seguimos uma linha geral de argumentação do pluralismo jurídico, mesmo que tenha se revelado totalmente problemático especificar o que é o direito genuinamente "social", puramente "não oficial", e como contrastá-lo com o direito estatal. Se o direito estatal também pode ser descrito em termos de uma abordagem pluralista, é preferível levar água ao moinho do pluralismo jurídico.…”

Globalização não é um termo descritivo para retratar a realidade contemporânea do direito; ela funciona principalmente como uma concepção regulatória para reforçar certas regularidades da evolução social para que sejam respeitadas por estudiosos, juristas e políticos. Os reflexos jurídicos em tempos de globalização não representam o direito como é, mas descrevem o direito necessário para que a humanidade encontre os perigos dos tempos de transição. Rejeitando por unanimidade o modelo Hobbesiano, os pluralistas apresentam as sociedades humanas como entidades auto-organizadas capazes de produzir suas próprias normas autônomas, independentes da vontade e da discricionariedade dos indivíduos particulares. Os fenômenos resumidos sob o título de pluralismo jurídico não têm originalidade histórica ou social. Pluralismo jurídico não revela novos direitos sociais ou regularidades, não provê um esquema explicativo novo (em vez disso, apenas muda as palavras do esquema antigo), e os desafios da globalização são apenas relativamente novos. Ao menos a realidade referida a esses termos esboça um clima intelectual renovado que oferece novos eixos aos discursos. Desse ponto de vista, o problema do pluralismo jurídico e a questão da globalização, não são desprovidos de interesse científico, e discussões sobre o tema podem efetivamente contribuir para o progresso do conhecimento social. Mas, de todas as possibilidades, não é razoável esperar que da substituição dos termos e dados factuais, se possa obter um conhecimento inovador sobre a inter-relação entre direito e sociedade.
