dear Kevin, can you publish this call for papers on our blog ? thanks, Michel ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laborda Peman, M. (Miguel) <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 3:44 PM Subject: Session Commons from a Long-Term Perspective - IASC Conference 2015 To: "Laborda Peman, M. (Miguel)" <[email protected]> Dear colleague, Between 25-29 May of 2015 the 16th Biannual Conference of the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC) will take place in Edmonton, Alberta (see http://www.iasc2015.org). With this mail, we would like to invite you to take part in a session on commons from a long-term perspective that we intend to organize for the occasion of that meeting. As you probably know, the IASC has been now working for more than thirty years to improve our understanding of the governance of natural and other shared resources. Ever since the IASC has provided scientists with very diverse backgrounds a great forum to bring our knowledge on cooperation and institutional diversity one step forward. But we believe there is a clear need for a better understanding of the real long term functioning of commons in order to understand how institutions for collective action in general can be designed and managed in a resilient way. A Conference held under the motto of *‘The Commons Amidst Complexity and Change’* should be, we think, the appropriate occasion to add more knowledge on commons from a long-term perspective. To this purpose, we have designed a session proposal for the IASC Conference aimed at bringing together historians and other scientists approaching the study of the commons from a long-term perspective. You can find it attached to this mail. We have kept it open enough as to accommodate any scholar with a genuine interest in the topic. Therefore, we will be really glad to welcome your individual proposals (500 words max.) by the *27th October 2014* to [email protected]. Feel free to contact us in case of further questions. We hope to see you in Edmonton next year!
