Abstract
The management of natural resources is an area attractive to all the social sciences. Although they all share the same root model concerning the role of the institution of property rights, or the lack thereof, depicted by Garrett Hardin in his seminal article on the ‘Tragedy of the Commons’ (Hardin, 1968), there is no consensus as to the analytic merits of this model. Neither do they agree on priorities and substantive conclusions. In this presentation we summarize the main issues and arguments in this discourse — in particular as they pertain to the question of regime design. Where are we at this point in time and what themes are begging for more social research in the years to come?
