 - tragedy of the commons

De tragedie van de schade die wordt toegebracht aan de algemene middelen (lucht, natuur, grondstoffen, grondoppervlak, bodemschatten enzovoort), doordat iedereen ze gebruikt zonder verantwoordelijkheid te nemen voor het behoud er van.

A systems archetype. In a "Tragedy of the Commons" scenario, a shared resource becomes overburdened as each person in the system uses more and more of the resource for individual gain. Eventually, the resource dwindles or is wiped out, resulting in lower gains for everyone involved. Example: the Greenhouse Effect.

A term used to illustrate the conflict between individual interests and the common good, based on the assumption that when individuals use a public good, they do not consider the impact – or externalities – of their use on the good itself; as a result, public resources become overexploited. The term was popularized by Garrett Hardin in his 1968 Science article "The Tragedy of the Commons,” which used a hypothetical example of English Commons, shared plots of grassland used by all livestock farmers in a village. In this hypothetical, each farmer keeps adding more livestock to graze on the Commons, because it costs him nothing to do so. In a few years, the soil is depleted by overgrazing, the Commons becomes unusable, and the village perishes.
