The circle of commoning framework adopts a critical realist ontology compatible with CIAD.
Evidence
These conceptual differences mean that the framework is theoretically aligned with and can be complementary to the Critical Institutional Analysis and Development (CIAD) framework (Whaley, 2018). It too emphasises the embeddedness of commoning institutions in social and cultural structures and the cultural meaning and power relations involved in the process of commoning. The framework takes a critical realist approach in its ontology, seeing structure as emerging from social practices, but not reducible to them (Archer, 1995). Similar to CIAD, it is underpinned by Archer’s “Emergence-Interplay-Outcome” concept (Archer, 1995), capturing the emergent nature of commoning practices, the interplay between the different parts of the circle and the outcomes that result from them – which then feed back to the circular process of commoning (see Whaley, 2018, 143). — Yael Arbell, The Circle of Commoning, 45
