Intersubjective Meaning and Collective Action in Developing Societies: Theory, Evidence and Policy Implications
提出集体行动不仅取决于共同利益和激励，还依赖于群体对问题和解决方案的共享理解（主体间意义），并探讨其对法治建设和公共资源管理的政策含义。
Abstract The capacity to act collectively is not just a matter of groups sharing interests, incentives and values (or being sufficiently small), as standard economic theory predicts, but a prior and shared understanding of the constituent elements of problem(s) and possible solutions. From this standpoint, the failure to act collectively can stem at least in part from relevant groups failing to ascribe a common intersubjective meaning to situations, processes and events. We develop a conceptual account of intersubjective meanings, explain its relevance to development practice and research, and examine its implications for development work related to building the rule of law and managing common pool resources.
