Over the last few years, I’ve been developing a new line of research in the analysis of the new commons. In particular, since May I’ve had the opportunity to coordinate the COMMOUNT project (FNS), which focuses on new mountain commons (self-managed ski lifts, community stables, associative grocery stores or cafés, etc.) and how they relate (or not) to the “historical commons” that persist in mountain regions.
