There are various frameworks being used to study the commons, but how to do this in practice? There is a need for feedback on how people apply those concepts to new studies, and we aim to provide this.

In this one week virtual summer school focuses on the application of established and new frameworks to study institutional arrangements of shared resources. Participants will be derive an intensive training in the use and application of the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) Framework, Robustness of Social-Ecological Systems framework and Coupled Infrastructure Systems Framework. We expect participants being familiar with at least one of those frameworks and use it in their research. We provide an advanced discussion of it’s use and application to case studies. We also provide one-on-one feedback on the research of participants in their application of one of the frameworks. Our perspective on the various frameworks is discussed in Anderies, J.M., M.A. Janssen and E. Schlager (2016), Institutions and the Performance of Coupled Infrastructure Systems, International Journal of the Commons 10(2): 495-516. DOI: http://doi.org/10.18352/ijc.651
