'A timely interrogation of the possibilities of global commons to replace a global system that for too long has made the vast majority of us pay too high a price. Here we find an exploration of a framework that can replace neoliberal global governance and empower the many.'--Massimo De Angelis, University of East London, UK'The time has come for researchers and scientists to focus their efforts on potential global governance mechanisms for the commons, existing or to come. This is precisely what has inspired this volume and why it should be considered a significant milestone in the study of the commons at the global level.'--Michel Bauwens, founder of the Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives'The insights provided in this book based on research by ''commons-thinkers'' will not just make it easier to connect to ''commons-analysers'' but also to the ''commons-doers'', who are demanding a better understanding of what they are actually putting into practice, on a daily basis.'--Tine De Moor, Utrecht University and former President of the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC) (2015 17)
