<br>

*Commons in a “Glocal” World: *<br>
<br>
*Global Connections and Local Responses*<br>
<br>
Venue: University of Bern, Main Building<br>
<br>
Organized by the Institute of Social Anthropology (ISA), the Centre for<br>
Development and Environment (CDE), and the Institute of Geography (IG)<br>
in collaboration with the Institute of History the World Trade Institute<br>
(WTI), University of Bern, Switzerland<br>
<br>
Main theme: Global Connections and Local Responses Research on the<br>
commons deals either with the development of institutions for the<br>
management of the commons, or with issues related to global change.<br>
While the latter mainly focusses on drivers and effects of global<br>
expansion of capitalist modes of production, consumption, and societal<br>
reproduction, research on institutions for the management of the commons<br>
deals with collective action and the effects and reactions within local<br>
action arenas. However, the entangled institutional processes through<br>
which global and local arenas – referred to as “glocal” – interlock are<br>
not yet addressed in a systematic way. Europe has been a major driver of<br>
“glocal” processes. Therefore, the 4th Regional European Meeting of the<br>
IASC is devoted to global connections and local responses. It provides a<br>
space to advance our understanding of ongoing “glocal” processes and to<br>
analyse historically how commons in Europe have evolved and adapted to<br>
“glocal” changes. By integrating political ecology with approaches of<br>
New Institutionalism and Critical Theory in Anthropology, Human<br>
Geography, Political Science and History, we propose to investigate the<br>
impacts of external changes on the perception and evaluation of<br>
resources by actors related to the commons. This raises the question of<br>
local bargaining power, ideologies and discourses, and of the selection<br>
and crafting of institutional designs, which in turn affect the access<br>
to common-pool resources, as well as the distribution of benefits<br>
related to the management of these resources.<br>
<br>
This conference therefore aims to look at the interfaces between local<br>
and global processes in order to bring together research arenas that<br>
have often been kept quite separate until now. We therefore call for<br>
contributions focussing on:<br>
<br>
• how global players such as multinational companies and organizations<br>
affect local governance of the commons worldwide<br>
<br>
• the role of international law and global trade in shaping the<br>
interface between global actors and institutional processes of local<br>
commons governance<br>
<br>
• the impacts of external economic and political changes on the<br>
perception and evaluation of resources and areas by actors related to<br>
the commons<br>
<br>
• local resistance and the development of political strategies<br>
countering the transformation of collective into private or state-based<br>
property rights as a consequence of economic and political changes<br>
<br>
• the local crafting of institutional designs in global and local<br>
arenas, and how these affect access to and distribution of natural<br>
resources and related benefits among local to global actors using the<br>
commons<br>
<br>
• how the encounter of global and local processes affect bargaining<br>
power, ideologies and discourses of global and local actors in governing<br>
sustainability trade-offs.<br>
<br>
We especially welcome contributions that aim to address the above<br>
mentioned themes through novel forms of integrating theoretical<br>
approaches. In addition, the focus of the conference will be on a<br>
dialogue among representatives of different academic disciplines (e.g.<br>
geography, social anthropology, history, development studies, economics,<br>
political science, and law) and between academics and non-academic<br>
actors (e.g. practitioners, business representatives, policy makers, or<br>
NGOs).<br>
