“…Our analysis offers three important findings for the theory and practice of community-based CPR governance. First, our work reinforces the empirical regularity that outcomes ultimately depend on the values of and interactions between several variables 11,30 . In fact, all 20 of the variables were used in model fitting and nine were observed to have a relative influence greater than 5%.…”

Lasting community-based governance of common-pool resources depends on communities self-organizing to monitor compliance with rules. Monitoring serves an important function in community-based governance by establishing conditions for long-term cooperation, but the factors that foster its provision are poorly understood. We have analysed data from 177 forest user groups to assess the relative importance of 15 potential drivers of compliance monitoring, as well as the direction and form of their relationships. The results suggest that user groups are most likely to successfully self-organize to monitor compliance when rules are designed by local user groups (local rulemaking), and when those user groups are located close to or far from markets for forest products and have a larger number of members. Additionally, local leadership plays an important role in certain contexts, such as groups that are smaller in size and located near markets for forest products.

“…that are applicable across a wide range of settings and compatible with a diverse range of qualitative and quantitative analytical methods. Frameworks provide a basis for communicating and agreeing on the common building blocks, facilitate the use of multiple analytical methods (Beckmann and Padmanabhan 2009), enable collaboration across disciplines (Poteete et al 2010), and structure metastudies to further consolidate knowledge (Villamayor-Tomas et al 2020).…”

Abstract“Action situations”—events, venues, or physically interdependent instances of decision-making—have become a central unit of analysis in the social–environmental sciences, particularly among scholars interested in bridging the social with the biophysical or ecological side of interdependent decisions. A growing body of empirical studies in social–ecological systems research has recently used case and comparative studies to analyse multiple interdependent action situations, structured into networks. In this article, we take stock of this body of empirical research, synthesize the diverse approaches that scholars have taken to assess “networks of action situations”, and identify fruitful paths forward. We conduct a systematic review of the empirical literature in the field, reviewing and summarizing the key characteristics of the empirical studies, including network features, topologies, methods, and data sources used in each case. We summarize and discuss the conceptualizations, methods, diagnostic procedures, and conclusions used in this body of work in a narrative framework synthesis. The review indicates that an increasingly coherent approach is taking shape, but a systematic, protocol-driven, or formalized approach is only partly emerging. We derive future research needs that could help accumulate knowledge from empirical research.

“…Not all variables are relevant for a particular case, and they can be further refined to higher tier variables if required. First archetype studies build on this set of variables (Oberlack and Eisenack 2018, Gotgelf et al 2020, Villamayor-Tomas et al 2020a (Petschel-Held et al 1999). Methodologically, basic vulnerabilitycreating conditions were synthesized from the literature and hypotheses about mechanisms were deduced (prop.…”

“…It is also possible that a sequence of archetype analyses discovers more details about shared phenomena of interest, and expands the set of cases where the identified archetypes hold, leading to cumulative learning. Currently, such learning is still limited, despite its recognized importance in sustainability research (Alexander et al 2020, Newig and Rose 2020, Pauliuk 2020, Villamayor-Tomas et al 2020a). Therefore, a next generation of archetype research may consolidate, validate, and refine knowledge about archetypes in specific domains, for instance sustainable land use, climate adaptation, and biodiversity.…”

Recent years have seen a proliferation of studies that use archetype analysis to better understand and to foster transitions toward sustainability. This growing literature reveals a common methodological ground, as well as a variety of perspectives and practices. In this paper, we provide an historical overview of the roots of archetype analysis from ancient philosophy to recent sustainability science. We thereby derive core features of the archetype approach, which we frame by eight propositions. We then introduce the Special Feature, "Archetype Analysis in Sustainability Research," which offers a consolidated understanding of the approach, a portfolio of methods, and quality criteria, as well as cutting-edge applications. By reflecting on the Special Feature's empirical and methodological contributions, we hope that the showcased advances, exemplary applications, and conceptual clarifications will help to design future research that contributes to collaborative learning on archetypical patterns leading toward sustainability. The paper concludes with an outlook highlighting central directions for the next wave of archetype analyses.
