When commons meet law and policy

20-22 Octobre 2016

Paris, France

Building upon the successful 2012 and 2014 thematic IASC conferences on knowledge commons, this third conference aims to look at the normative effects and institutionalization of the many initiatives based on knowledge commons and how commons provide new legal tools, public policy choices, and forms of social, economic and governance innovations. To this purpose the conference aims to take stock of the latest developments in public policies and legal initiatives around knowledge commons, as well as how the attempts to give a proper legal definition of commons in different countries bring changes in law and property regimes.  In Italy a commission has proposed to introduce the notion of commons as a new legal concept aside private property and public property; in 2015, a French bill has considered creating a notion of informational commons to protect the public domain. In many cities, commons are becoming a building block of new public policies and deliberations processes. Law seems to become the new battlefield for the commons.

The key questions that this conference will cover are the sustainability of knowledge commons that could be achieved by giving normative effects to the relationships and collectiveness they create, the possible articulation between grassroots commons movements and  law and public policy, To such end, examples of governance models or legal revisions organizing commons in diverse countries will be studied, particularly as far as knowledge commons are concerned.
