The cooperation of multi-located individuals in a whitewater,
socio-technical world requires an adaptation of Elinor Ostrom’s
core ideas about governance of common-pool resources. Many
(most?) of us now live in a highly integrated digital environment
and in communities experiencing upheavals of past patterns.
We face new challenges that demand the development of skills
and tacit knowledge to navigate the twists, turns, and rapids we
constantly confront. Such change also requires innovative forms
of collaboration and governance arrangements to address the
actual and current needs of societal members and engender the
appropriate motivations and incentives to sustain cooperation.
