Legal Pluralism in the Commons
This paper examines the role of law in contemporary commons revitalisation projects through a case study of satoyama restoration in Toyooka City, Japan. While research on Japanese commons has traditionally focused on common-pool resource governance (iriai), we argue that current revitalisation efforts are better understood as commoning, which foregrounds the relational and ongoing co-production of social and ecological life. Drawing on ethnograph…
Towards deliberative and pragmatic co-management
In seeking to answer the question ‘who should be included in fisheries co-management?’, a constructive critique of the existing co-management literature is provided by filling the gaps of Habermas’s deliberative theory of democracy with Dewey’s pragmatism. Three conditions for ensuring democratic co-management are extrapolated from the theories: actors’ authority over decision making (empowerment), actors’ diversity (membership), and the right to…
Democratic legitimacy and new commons
This paper explores the relationship between protected areas and commons arguing that protected areas can be seen as a form of new commons because of the different objectives and beneficiaries compared to traditional commons. If the purpose of traditional commons is sustainable resource exploitation, the primary objective of these new commons is the conservation of nature/protection of biodiversity. And if on traditional commons local resource us…

Rethinking Participation in Environmental Decision-Making
This article presents some fresh reflections on participation in environmental decision-making by focussing on the case of newly designated Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. The article draws on empirical research conducted by the author with South-East fishermen, considering their perceptions of the designation process. Julia Black's distinction between 'thin' and 'thick' proceduralisation serves as a…
A Politicized, Legal Pluralist Analysis of the Commons' Resilience
How does law affect the resilience of common-pool resources? To answer this question this paper adopts an institutionalist perspective on law, arguing that this shares many similarities with the approach of some legal pluralist scholars, i.e., the recognition that a social-ecological system is influenced by a plurality of legal orders having-to borrow Santos terminology-porous qualities. Studying the production and types of relationships between …
Property pluralism and the partial reflexivity of conservation law
This article is concerned with rights and property paradigms within the context of conservation law in England and Wales. Property is a relational concept. However the ways in which its relationality unfolds are multiple, as are its impacts on the conservation of nature. This article argues that property's relationality can be interpreted by reference to two distinct paradigmatic views: the first emphasizing its socio-legal relationality, the sec…
