However, which research method or approach is best suited to a particular inquiry is frequently debated and discussed. \u003ci\u003eWorking Together\u003c\/i\u003e examines how different methods have promoted various theoretical developments related to collective action and the commons, and demonstrates the importance of cross-fertilization involving multimethod research across traditional boundaries. The authors look at why cross-fertilization is difficult to achieve, and they show ways to overcome these challenges through collaboration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The authors provide numerous examples of collaborative, multimethod research related to collective action and the commons. They examine the pros and cons of case studies, meta-analyses, large-N field research, experiments and modeling, and empirically grounded agent-based models, and they consider how these methods contribute to research on collective action for the management of natural resources. Using their findings, the authors outline a revised theory of collective action that includes three elements: individual decision making, microsituational conditions, and features of the broader social-ecological context. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Acknowledging the academic incentives that influence and constrain how research is conducted, \u003ci\u003eWorking Together\u003c\/i\u003e reworks the theory of collective action and offers practical solutions for researchers and students across a spectrum of disciplines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Poteete, Marco A.
