La teoría de la acción colectiva está entendida como la movilización de las acciones de los miembros de grupos y/o de la sociedad, con propósitos de cooperación. Este tipo de acción es fundamental para la gobernanza con perspectiva de largo plazo (es decir, el uso sostenido y la conservación) de los “bienes comunes”. A lo largo del seminario se buscará relacionar los contenidos teóricos con distintos problemas empíricos locales, nacionales y globales.
