Bogotá Working Group “Foundations of Cooperation in the Commons”
February 9-11, 2006, Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotá
1. Objectives for the working group:
• Share different results approaches and methods for studying cooperation, collective action and the problem of the commons.
• Discuss synergies and limitations of combining different methods to understand these questions.
• Evaluate the state of the art of the literature and identify the new relevant questions and approaches to the problem.
2. Format:
• As a working group meeting, the sessions are designed to allow for enough discussion among the group participants, based on short presentations by some of the participants.
• In each of the round table sessions there will be presenters who will share their work in about 20-30 minutes and invite for discussion with some questions.
• There will be two presentations by Bowles (Thursday) and Eckel (Friday) aimed at provoking wider questions for the group.
