From (urban) commons to commoning: political practices and horizons in the Mediterranean context. Introduction to the special issue

In the guest editorial we present a short review of the most recent debate concerning urban commons and commoning processes. We briefly highlight the main themes discussed in the papers composing the special issue regrouped around three thematic lines: i) the reappropriation of common spaces in times of austerity; ii) the ambivalence of the urban common; and iii) the methodological challenges raised by commoning practices.
