“So many edited books by academics are focused primarily on scientific topics of interest primarily to one discipline. These four volumes dramatically differ from most post-conference volumes. The volumes are written by scholars who address broad issues of interest across scientific disciplines that are of concern to citizens and policymakers in all parts of the world. If scientists are to have any impact on the policy world, efforts like this are essential to provide readable syntheses that document important findings and their policy implications…these volumes provide excellent summaries of an immense body of research — and they are written by authorities who know the field well.” – Elinor Ostrom, Indiana University

These publications form a series of cutting edge “referencing tools”, based around what were regarded as the most interesting and pertinent conference themes under discussion at the Tenth Biennial Conference of the International Association for the Study of Common Property (IASCP), which took place from August 9 – 13, 2004, in Oaxaca, southern Mexico. They cover many of the problems and challenges related to local management of natural resources, and the work presented is a glimpse of the richness and relevance of some of the most interesting research currently being carried out within this field.
