This journal explores the concept and practice of 'commons' and 'commoning' across various domains, including natural resources, urban spaces, and digital environments. It examines how collective management, governance, and social practices shape access to and use of shared resources, often in the context of sustainability, social justice, and resistance to market-based or state-driven enclosures. The research frequently analyzes the interplay between local customary institutions and global development agendas, as well as the role of discourse and power dynamics in shaping commons-related outcomes.
