Title
Working Together: Collective Action, The Commons, And Multiple Methods In Practice
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Advances In The Social Sciences Have Emerged Through A Variety Of Research Methods: Fieldbased Research, Laboratory And Field Experiments, And Agentbased Models. However, Which Research Method Or Approach Is Best Suited To A Particular Inquiry Is Frequently Debated And Discussed. Working Together Examines How Different Methods Have Promoted Various Theoretical Developments Related To Collective Action And The Commons, And Demonstrates The Importance Of Crossfertilization Involving Multimethod Research Across Traditional Boundaries. The Authors Look At Why Crossfertilization Is Difficult To Achieve, And They Show Ways To Overcome These Challenges Through Collaboration.The Authors Provide Numerous Examples Of Collaborative, Multimethod Research Related To Collective Action And The Commons. They Examine The Pros And Cons Of Case Studies, Metaanalyses, Largen Field Research, Experiments And Modeling, And Empirically Grounded Agentbased Models, And They Consider How These Methods Contribute To Research On Collective Action For The Management Of Natural Resources. Using Their Findings, The Authors Outline A Revised Theory Of Collective Action That Includes Three Elements: Individual Decision Making, Microsituational Conditions, And Features Of The Broader Socialecological Context.Acknowledging The Academic Incentives That Influence And Constrain How Research Is Conducted, Working Together Reworks The Theory Of Collective Action And Offers Practical Solutions For Researchers And Students Across A Spectrum Of Disciplines.
