*Bern, Switzerland, 10-13 May 2016 *

*Commons in a “Glocal” World: *

*Global Connections and Local Responses*

Venue: University of Bern, Main Building

Organized by the Institute of Social Anthropology (ISA), the Centre for
Development and Environment (CDE), and the Institute of Geography (IG)
in collaboration with the Institute of History the World Trade Institute
(WTI), University of Bern, Switzerland

Main theme: Global Connections and Local Responses Research on the
commons deals either with the development of institutions for the
management of the commons, or with issues related to global change.
While the latter mainly focusses on drivers and effects of global
expansion of capitalist modes of production, consumption, and societal
reproduction, research on institutions for the management of the commons
deals with collective action and the effects and reactions within local
action arenas. However, the entangled institutional processes through
which global and local arenas – referred to as “glocal” – interlock are
not yet addressed in a systematic way. Europe has been a major driver of
“glocal” processes. Therefore, the 4th Regional European Meeting of the
IASC is devoted to global connections and local responses. It provides a
space to advance our understanding of ongoing “glocal” processes and to
analyse historically how commons in Europe have evolved and adapted to
“glocal” changes. By integrating political ecology with approaches of
New Institutionalism and Critical Theory in Anthropology, Human
Geography, Political Science and History, we propose to investigate the
impacts of external changes on the perception and evaluation of
resources by actors related to the commons. This raises the question of
local bargaining power, ideologies and discourses, and of the selection
and crafting of institutional designs, which in turn affect the access
to common-pool resources, as well as the distribution of benefits
related to the management of these resources.

This conference therefore aims to look at the interfaces between local
and global processes in order to bring together research arenas that
have often been kept quite separate until now. We therefore call for
contributions focussing on:

• how global players such as multinational companies and organizations
affect local governance of the commons worldwide

• the role of international law and global trade in shaping the
interface between global actors and institutional processes of local
commons governance

• the impacts of external economic and political changes on the
perception and evaluation of resources and areas by actors related to
the commons

• local resistance and the development of political strategies
countering the transformation of collective into private or state-based
property rights as a consequence of economic and political changes

• the local crafting of institutional designs in global and local
arenas, and how these affect access to and distribution of natural
resources and related benefits among local to global actors using the
commons

• how the encounter of global and local processes affect bargaining
power, ideologies and discourses of global and local actors in governing
sustainability trade-offs.

We especially welcome contributions that aim to address the above
mentioned themes through novel forms of integrating theoretical
approaches. In addition, the focus of the conference will be on a
dialogue among representatives of different academic disciplines (e.g.
geography, social anthropology, history, development studies, economics,
political science, and law) and between academics and non-academic
actors (e.g. practitioners, business representatives, policy makers, or
NGOs).
