3rd    Thematic    IASC-??Conference      on    Knowledge    Commons    *

Building upon the successful  2012 and  2014 thematic IASC conferences on
knowledge commons, this third conference aims to look at the normative
effects and institutionalization of the many initiatives based on knowledge
commons and how commons provide new legal tools, public policy choices, and
forms of social, economic and governance innovations. To this purpose the
conference aims to take stock of the latest developments in public policies
and legal initiatives around knowledge commons, as well as how the attempts
to give a proper legal definition of commons in different countries bring
changes in law and property regimes.

The key questions that this conference will cover are the sustainability of
knowledge commons that could be achieved by giving normative effects to the
relationships and collectiveness they create, the possible articulation
between grassroots commons movements and public policy, To such end,
examples of governance models or legal revisions organizing commons in
diverse countries will be studied, particularly as far as knowledge commons
are concerned.

The  International  Association  for  the  Study  of  the  Commons
(IASC),  founded  in  1989  as  The International Association for the Study
of Common Property (IASCP), is devoted to bringing together
multi-??disciplinary   researchers,   practitioners   and   policymakers
for   the   purpose   of   improving governance  and  management,
advancing  understanding,  and  creating  sustainable  solutions  for
commons, common-??pool resources, or any other form of shared resource.
