SOURCE MATERIALS AND SUGGESTED READING

Since the sourcebook’s primary target audience is field-based practitioners, the readings present theory and analysis in simple terms and extract practical lessons for action. The sourcebook was not designed as a research reference and therefore does not go into detail on research methods and approaches. Nonetheless, researchers may find the sourcebook useful to identify relevant studies, as well as to see the kinds of results and conclusions that can be drawn from applied research on collective action and property rights. Each piece is based on a research paper, noted in the "Source" box on the first page. Suggested readings are provided at the end of each article for those who would like more information. The list below includes the source material and the suggested readings from all the sourcebook articles, organized as in the sourcebook's table of contents.
