<p style="line-height:15.45pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">During our two-day workshop we will be focusing on institutions for collective action, that are self-governing and self-regulating in historical perspective.
At the workshop much attention will be given to the historical analysis of common land regimes, which has witnessed a clear shift in focus from the study of the abolition of commons towards the analysis of the internal logic of their functioning. The workshop
however also aims at attracting studies of the regulation of other types of self-governing institutions. In general, we aim at understanding how efficient and effective regulation can be developed, in a context of self-governing, collective institutions, both
in rural and urban contexts. In such institutions, rules were designed and put into practice by the stakeholders themselves. Many questions however still remain unanswered:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
