People are not autonomous individuals but connected beings. Curae ergo sum - we care, therefore we are. Relationality - which refers to the ethic and manner by which relational considerations govern decisions and institutional arrangements can take advantage of the power of connection - uncovers how social connection, across divides, moves people to act for the other. Drawing from research on empathy, social networks, and determinants of pro-social behavior, Caring, Empathy, and the Commons builds on Ostrom's Governing the Commons. It offers a different mechanism by which collective action is induced, arguing that, sometimes, the individual thinks not in terms of individual gain but in terms of the other. Developing this concept of relationality, this book explores various strands of literature and examines how this idea might be used to foster collective action around climate, species protection, fair trade, and other dilemmas of the commons.

Lejano, Raul P.: - Raul P. Lejano is Professor of environmental education at New York University. His research revolves around two sides of relationality: how connectedness fosters collective action and disconnectedness increases vulnerability. He is a coauthor, with Wing Shan Kan, of a book entitled Relationality: The Inner Life of Public Policy (Cambridge University Press).
