Philip, thanks for the pointers. Allow me to recommend once more The SAGE Handbook of Case-Based Methods, which is the most comprehensive and rigorous account of case-based methods that I have encountered so far.

Anthropology of Fishing Discussions - Open Anthropology Cooperative 30 Aug 2010, 1:35 am CEST

Hi,
I'd like to know if anyone could help me getting access to any of the following articles:
Fikret Berkes (1985). Fishermen and ‘The Tragedy of the Commons’. Environmental Conservation, 12 , pp 199-206 
It would be of great help, considering my University doesn't provide me acces to these articles and neither do I have the conditions to pay for these.
If anyone can help, my email is diogolucatelli@hotmail.com
Thanks a lot. 
Sorry if I'm breaking any rules!
Diogo
