Abstract This introductory article to the special issue on the Institutional Resource Regime (IRR) framework presents an overview of the latest developments of the framework. The IRR framework has been established as an important supplement to existing (neo)institutional approaches focusing on the management of natural resources. One of the major contributions of the IRR framework is its ability to appraise the institutional complexity of heterogeneous resource use situations at the nexus of public regulatory actions and private responses, to link the resulting institutional arrangements with claimants’ access to the resource, and to propose causal mechanisms explaining the relationship between institutions and sustainability.

管理当代公共资源：与其他政策框架对话的机构资源制度

摘要 这篇关于机构资源制度 (IRR) 框架特刊的介绍性文章概述了该框架的最新发展。IRR 框架的建立是对现有（新）制度方法的重要补充，这些方法侧重于自然资源的管理。IRR 框架的主要贡献之一是它能够评估在公共监管行动和私人响应之间的异构资源使用情况的制度复杂性，将由此产生的制度安排与索赔人对资源的访问联系起来，并提出建议解释制度和可持续性之间关系的因果机制。
