3d Global Thematic IASC conference
on the knowledge commons 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.
