Dear GEPers, A quick follow up on my earlier message ('What are institutions, anyway?'): The videogame Law of the Jungle has just been completed and is now available for use (free) for those whose teaching emphasizing the institutional dimensions of environmental problems.
This game was created by a dozen student programmers and artists under my direction over a three year period. This is a role-player game in which the player returns to his/her village in Central America and must figure out what is causing the destruction of local forests. It focuses substantively on common-pool resource regimes, state-society relations, and multilevel governance. Play time is approximately one hour. See the "play the game" link at rulechangers.org We hope you enjoy it! Paul -- Paul F.
