69th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management, AOM 2009 (August 2009), Chicago, IL
We analyze why and how numerous, diverse actors build institutions for the collective governance of transnational commons, where no overarching authority can induce collaboration. In contrast to conventional economic models of commons, we argue that commons are socially constructed. Building institutions to govern transnational commons requires institutional entrepreneurs to deploy various mobilization strategies that mitigate restraining forces and overcome institutional stasis in such fields. If so, collective governance can avert the "tragedy of the commons.".
