Campaign for Commons Literacy -- IndieGoGo
Hello fans of a better future! Thanks to the contribution by 22 funders, which raised $1,304, we were able to bring James Quilligan, a renowned commons theorist/activist and policy analyst to London, where presented a key seminar on MANAGING the LOCAL and GLOBAL COMMONS, sharing his latest cutting-edge thinking. The full set of the slides can be found here .
Hess and Ostrom detail the complex interdisciplinary definitions of "commons" and "public domain," establishing the discourse in the work of Scott Gordon in 1954 and Anthony Scott in 1955, who introduced economic analysis to fisheries, a natural resource that had traditionally been the domain of biologists. "Their two articles are credited with outlining the conventional theory of the commons."
