Des semences en commun pour gérer les maladies: Étude comparative de rizières dans le Yuanyuang (Chine)
À travers l’étude d’un agrosystème traditionnel rare, celui des rizières du Yuanyuang en Chine, cet article montre qu’une agriculture plus durable, basée sur une large biodiversité cultivée peut être mise en œuvre dans un territoire agricole et permettre un contrôle des maladies sans pesticide. L’enquête qualitative et quantitative, menée dans neuf villages, met au jour une gestion en bien commun des semences, c’est-à-dire un système sociotechniq…
The Governance Features of Social Enterprise and Social Network Activities of Collective Food Buying Groups
Combining internal and external motivations in multi-actor governance arrangements for biodiversity and ecosystem services
Toward a Broadened Ethical Pluralism in Environmental Ethics: From Bryan Norton’s Discursive Ethics to William James’ Experiential Pluralism
Global scientific research commons under the Nagoya Protocol: Towards a collaborative economy model for the sharing of basic research assets
This paper aims to get a better understanding of the motivational and transaction cost features of building global scientific research commons, with a view to contributing to the debate on the design of appropriate policy measures under the recently adopted Nagoya Protocol. For this purpose, the paper analyses the results of a world-wide survey of managers and users of microbial culture collections, which focused on the role of social and interna…
The role of network bridging organisations in compensation payments for agri-environmental services under the EU Common Agricultural Policy
Compensation payments to farmers for the provision of agri-environmental services are a well-established policy scheme under the EU Common Agricultural Policy. However, in spite of the success in most EU countries in the uptake of the programme by farmers, the impact of the scheme on the long term commitment of farmers to change their practices remains poorly documented. To explore this issue, this paper presents the results of structured field i…
A pragmatist approach to transdisciplinarity in sustainability research: From complex systems theory to reflexive science
The importance of questioning the values, background assumptions, and normative orientations shaping sustainability research has been increasingly acknowledged, particularly in the context of transdisciplinary research, which aims to integrate knowledge from various scientific and societal bodies of knowledge. Nonetheless, the concept of reflexivity underlying transdisciplinary research is not sufficiently clarified and, as a result, is hardly ab…
The use of agrobiodiversity for plant improvement and the intellectual property paradigm: Institutional fit and legal tools for mass selection, conventional and molecular plant breeding
Focused on the impact of stringent intellectual property mechanisms over the uses of plant agricultural biodiversity in crop improvement, the article delves into a systematic analysis of the relationship between institutional paradigms and their technological contexts of application, identified as mass selection, controlled hybridisation, molecular breeding tools and transgenics. While the strong property paradigm has proven effective in the cont…
The heterogeneity of public ex situ collections of microorganisms: Empirical evidence about conservation practices, industry spillovers and public goods
Global Environmental Commons: Analytical and Political Challenges in Building Governance Mechanisms
"Environmental challenges, and the potential solutions to address them, have a direct effect on living standards, the organization of economies, major infrastructures, and modes of urbanization. Since the publication of path-breaking contributions on the governance of environmental resources in the early 1990s, many political initiatives have been taken, numerous governance experiments have been conducted, and a large multi-disciplinary field of …
Self-governance and international regulation of the global microbial commons: Introduction to the special issue on the microbial commons
For millennia people around the world have exchanged biological materials, mainly for food and agricultural purposes. Crop domestication began about 12,000 years ago, and moved rapidly across continents and even inter-continentally. Colonialism and imperial trade in the 1500s and 1600s accelerated things rapidly, to the point where people were eating much the same staples all over the world. In the last century, however, the emergence of in vitro…
Change in forest governance in developing countries – in search of sustainable governance arrangements
Self-governance and international regulation of the global microbial commons: Introduction to the special issue on the microbial commons
Change in forest governance in developing countries – in search of sustainable governance arrangements
Integrating different windows on reality: Socio-Economic and Institutional Challenges for Culture Collections
The task of a comprehensive exploration of micro-organisms in medicine, agriculture, industry, basic, applied and environmental sciences requires many resources and highly specialised methods of collection. The resulting wealth of data makes it essential for experts from different fields to collaborate closely for efficiently translating it into social benefits. Resulting commercial applications are one driving force in further developments that …
Contributions of bioinformatics and intellectual property rights in sharing biological information
ObjectivesAs scientists and user groups become better connected with each other, particularly through the Internet, and as research focuses on issues of global importance such as climate change, human health, and biodiversity, there is a growing need to systematically address data access and sharing issues beyond national jurisdictions, and thereby create greater value from international cooperation.The goal should be to ensure that both research…
The institutional economics of sharing biological information
Within the field of the governance of biodiversity, initiatives for sharing knowledge through networking distributed databases have emerged, operating both on a global scale (such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility connecting worldwide biodiversity resources in a searchable database portal) and in more focused issue networks (such as the European Human Frozen Tumour Tissue Bank). In this article, I analyse the institutional condition…

The science commons in life science research: Structure, Function, and Value of Access to Genetic Diversity
Innovation in the life sciences depends on how much information is produced as well as how widely and easily it is shared. Policies governing the science commons - or alternative, more restricted informational spaces - determine how widely and quickly information is distributed. The purpose of this paper is to highlight why the science commons matters and to analyse its structure and function. The main lesson from our analysis is that both the ch…
