Abstract

The intermediary position of the commons approach between public and private management offers the potential for a number of benefits, including improved resource management, a more ecological and fairer society, and emancipation projects. In light of this, it is important for academic research to continue its work of understanding and exploring the conditions raised by the fulfilment of these promises. In this context, the paper identifies four research perspectives. The first concerns the lifecycle of the commons and the consequences for the management of shared resources. The second area of interest concerns the question of work and how to make the most of it in order to perpetuate the commitment of commoners. The third area of interest relates to the acceptance by existing institutional frameworks of the innovations brought about by the commons, and conversely, the risk of capture and distortion of the inventive character by these same institutional frameworks. The final perspective concerns the possible contradictions surrounding the management of the natural commons when these require the renunciation of certain uses. The objective of this special issue is to identify and address the blind spots that currently impede the transition towards an ecological and social transformation. By doing so, it will contribute to the development of a more informed analysis of the challenges and opportunities that this transition presents.
