Last panel of the day (and of @iasc2019 #IASC2019) - I am at the "history of the commons" one. You can read the entire program here iasc2019.org/wp-content/upl… and the screenshot I posted lists the papers being presented in this one, starting with history of forest policies in India.

I was keen to attend a panel on historical perspectives of the commons because (a) shared governance of resources has happened even before Elinor Ostrom wrote her "Governing the Commons", yes, HOWEVER, you can apply her principles/theories regardless of historical period.

In this blog post I have addressed the alleged ahistoricity of Elinor Ostrom's theories of the commons raulpacheco.org/2017/03/addres… as I have argued, it's absurd to think that Lin's work cannot be applied retroactively. There's much to be learned from historiography applied to commons

“Ruling the Commons. Introducing a new methodology for the analysis of historical commons” buff.ly/2FSpnj2 by Tine de Moor, Miguel Laborda-Peman, Jose Miguel Lana-Berasain, Rene van Weeren, Angus Winchester, in the @IJCCommons #IASC2019 @iasc2019

Listening to Tine de Moor #IASC2019 talking about a dataset comparing regulations coded using De Moor et al 2016 through time - she finds that the intensity of sanctioning varies per country - also, in the Netherlands they find that there is little graduated sanctioning @iasc2019

De Moor et al find that the differences across Netherlands and UK may be explained by differences in legal contexts. #IASC2019 @iasc2019

I ask Tine if she & her team are concerned about losing resolution on rule structure, enforcement mechanisms and sanction design by using a large dataset of regulations across a very long period of time. She agrees w/me, says that they're moving to contextual analysis #IASC2019

Elisa Blanco presenting on the history of water conflicts in Chile. This is such an interesting presentation.

#IASC2019 @iasc2019 Elisa showcases how water rights are assigned by the government in Chile yet they are allocated to business interests. She examines Chile’s water laws and codes using a historical perspective.
