Institutionalized management of scarce resources: Introduction and overview

With reference to the policy-relevance of the issue as well as to the more broadly relevant theoretical insights that can be gained by its scientific study, the editorial committee of the SPSR, acting upon a suggestion by the board of the Swiss Political Science Association, asked the three authors of this introduction to issue a call for papers on theoretical and empirical questions associated with the institutional management of scarce resources.

This introduction describes the six contributions that were chosen by the Swiss Political Science Association.
