This volume offers a synthesis of what is known about very large and
very small common-pool resources. Individuals using commons at the
global or local level may find themselves in a similar situation. At
an international level, states cannot appeal to authoritative
hierarchies to enforce agreements they make to cooperate with one
another. In some small-scale settings, participants may be just as
helpless in calling on distant public officials to monitor and enforce
their agreements. Scholars have independently discovered
self-organizing regimes which rely on implicit or explicit principles,
norms, rules and procedures rather than the command and control of a
central authority. The contributors discuss the possibilities and
dangers of scaling up and scaling down. They explore the impact of the
number of actors and the degree of heterogeneity among actors on the
likelihood of cooperative behaviour.
