ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the empirical research results and evaluates the findings in the light of institutional diversity. Labour market policies are an aspect of national policymaking. Their special feature is their form of market that actively pronounces the classic distinction between markets and governments. It compares the three resource system separately. The chapter looks at the first three empirical analyses that focused the urban resource systems. It explains the differences between the three resource systems and labour markets. The chapter discusses different diversifications of institutional settings in a socio-ecological transition. The self-organisation of resource systems in European cities affects existing choice rules. In the work of Elinor Ostrom, these potential structures delegate local decision-making and autonomy to the local level. Specifically, civil society actors in collaboration with other local stakeholders from governments or economy can engage and interact in a self-organised resource cultivation that meets sustainability criteria.
