Abstract

Many co-management (joint management, collaborative management) initiatives are in progress in the areas of fisheries, wildlife, protected areas, forests and other resources. These initiatives have a common reason for their existence. Top-down resource management by centralized government agencies has not been working well, and purely local-level management is often ineffective in the complex world of multiple stakeholders. As a rapidly developing field of study, there is a substantial accumulation of empirical material on co-management, yet the field is weak in terms of theory development. Many authors agree that the theoretical basis of co-management may be found in common property research. It is not clear, however, how the theory developed in the broader area of commons may be applicable to co-management.
