The International Journal of the Commons is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed open-access journal, dedicated to furthering the understanding of institutions for use and management of resources that are (or could be) enjoyed collectively.
These resources may be part of the natural world (e.g. forests, climate systems, or the oceans) or they may be created (e.g. infrastructures such as irrigation systems, the internet or (scientific) knowledge, for example of the sort that is published in open-access journals).
The IJC is an initiative of the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC).
The Center for Behavior, Institutions and the Environment will organize the 3rd annual Arizona IASC Workshop at Arizona State University on March 12/13, 2020. The workshop will be organized around working groups and will focus on the use of multiple methods to study collective action and the commons. Read more.
