BEYOND COLLECTIVE ACTION PROBLEMS
WHEN: February 12, 2025
TIME: 4:00 PM
WHERE: ARCH 205
A new book on perceived fairness and sustained cooperation in farmer managed irrigation systems in Nepal. Why do some groups successfully sustain cooperation to use and maintain shared resources while others don’t? In this book, Atul Pokharel argues that the answer may come from understanding how communities address the fairness problem, a type of problem that lies beyond the well known collective action problems but has received much less attention.
