progress report on common property research.The book analyzes new problems that
owners, managers, policy makers, and analysts face in managing natural commons. It
examines recent findings about the physical characteristics of the commons, their
complexity and interconnectedness, and the role of social capital. It also provides
empirical studies and suggestions for sustainable development. The topics discussed
include the role of financial, political, and social capital in deforestation,
community efforts to gain political influence in Indonesia, the Maine lobster
industry, outcomes of the implementation of individual transferable quotas in New
