Governing Collective Action – The Impetus for University Commons

Jetta Frost and Fabian Hattke

European Review, 2018, vol. 26, issue S1, S70-S84

Abstract: Academic research and education are, more than ever, a collective endeavour. This article discusses how different modes of governance facilitate or obstruct collective action in universities. Based on theories of public goods and the resource-based perspective, we develop the concept of university commons in order to analyse the challenges arising from the governance of collective action. We examine how to effectively balance collegial and managerial governance to create a sustainable portfolio of university commons.
