* Master's Thesis: UNDERSTANDING THE COMMONS: INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS AND ETHICAL ARGUMENTS. Rafael Augusto Ferreira Zanatta. International University College of Turin Master of Laws Program, 2015.

Abstract

"This dissertation investigates the meaning of “the commons” in institutional perspective and critically analyzes the ethical values that constitute different theories in the contemporary debate, especially the work of Elinor Ostrom, Ugo Mattei and Yochai Benkler – herein called the Indiana School, the Turin School and the Harvard School.

The theoretical research aims to answer two problems. The first is if there is a variation of normative basis for institutional analysis of the commons in these different schools. The second is if it is possible to identify different degrees of ethical argument about the commons in these theories. I claim that the variations are visible and they matter for a consistent interpretation of these theories."
