The document presents an analysis of the common pool of resources and problems in implementing international regimes and agreements. The authors point out that "the current emphasis on global solutions based on international conventions meant to establish global institutions to manage environmental change may be fundamentally misguided. The policies of national governments, who are called upon to take the initiative to prevent deforestation and desertification, have in many instances been the major source of problems".
Method and model: The research is based on the Institutional Analysis and Development Framework (used to analyse common pool resources in small scale settings, especially for forestry and irrigation resources). The design principles proposed include: clearly defined boundaries; congruence between appropriate rules and local conditions; collective choice arrangements; monitoring, with graduated sanctions; mechanisms for conflict resolution; minimal recognition of rights; and nested enterprises.
