“…As a result, the Secretariat is seen as an independent facilitator for social monitoring between convention parties. In contrast, graduated sanctions an important element of successful small-scale collective action (McKean 1982;Ostrom 1990) is absent across the two snapshots. Given the generally positive performance of the Protocol and the absence of any form of sanctioning at the international level, it would seem that graduated sanctions may be less applicable for successful collective action among nations.…”

Abstract:The Montreal Protocol is generally credited as a successful example of international cooperation in response to a global environmental problem. As a result, the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances has declined rapidly, and it is expected that atmospheric ozone concentrations will return to their normal ranges toward the end of this century. This paper applies the socialecological system framework and common-pool resource theory to explore the congruence between successful resolution of small-scale appropriation problems and ozone regulation, a large-scale pollution problem. The results of our analysis correspond closely to past studies of the Protocol that highlight the importance of attributes such as a limited number of major industrial producers, advances in scientific knowledge, and the availability of technological substitutes. However, in contrast to previous theoretical accounts that focus on one or a few variables, our analysis suggests that its success may have been the result of interactions between a wider range of SES attributes, many of which are associated with 338Graham Epstein et al.successful small-scale environmental governance. Although carefully noting the limitations of drawing conclusions from the analysis of a single case, our analysis reveals the potential for fruitful interplay between common-pool resource theory and large-scale pollution problems.

“…Referring to McKean (1982), Ostrom (1990) notes that government authorities granted users of mountain forests commons rights to self-organize in the Tokugawa period (1600-1867) in Japan and the community-based forestry management was sustainable (Shimada, 2014). Similarly, the Tokugawa government developed community-based fisheries management to allow fishers to self-organize and self-govern their fisheries commons (Makino and Matsuda, 2005;Yamamoto, 1995).…”

“…Institutions, which include the formal and informal rules, norms and shared strategies of human groups (Crawford and Ostrom 1995), are viewed as particularly important as they structure the incentives that actors face when making decisions. As a result of many years of research that accumulated several case studies of common property governance (Berkes 1977;McKean 1982), Ostrom (1990) was able to use the IAD framework to identify eight design principles. They were slightly modified recently by Cox et al (2010) who conducted a review of these principles ( Table 1).…”

Common property organisations as actors in rural development: a case study of a mountain area in Italy

Abstract:The Consorzi Vicinali are common property organisations (CPOs) located in a mountain area of Friuli Venezia Giulia region, in North East Italy. These CPOs have a long history of mutual assistance and collective use and management of local resources, thus contributing to a balanced development of the local community and territory. This research is aimed at investigating whether these historical CPOs still have a relevant role to play in the development of local rural areas, and how they deal with the present needs and opportunities of these areas. Specifically, the robustness and viability of these organisations were analysed. The survey revealed some strengths and weaknesses of the Consorzi Vicinali. According to Ostrom's design principles, the robustness is quite high. Nevertheless, this ability to maintain some desired characteristics despite internal and external fluctuations does not always match with a high viability, in terms of natural resource management, internal participation, creation of job opportunities especially for young people, and capacity to attract financial support. In fact, some Consorzi still act effectively in terms of the collective stewardship of rural resources. Whereas, others have the potential to adapt to new challenges and emerging needs, due to the deep rootedness and the sense of belonging of the local community to its territory. These are the strengths of all the Consorzi. The robustness and viability analyses used in a complementary way have been effective here in giving a more comprehensive description of CPOs and their (potential) role in rural development. 364Ivana Bassi and Nadia Carestiato
