Environmental governance of common pool resources : a comparison of fishery and forestry

This book analyses the drivers of specific common pool resource problems, particularly in fisheries and forestry, examining the way in which private and public regulation have intervened to fight the common pool resource problem by contributing to the establishment and maintenance of property rights. It focuses on the various forms of regulation that have been put in place to protect fisheries and forestry over the past decades – both from a theoretical as well as from a policy perspective – comparing the concrete interaction of legal and policy instruments in eight separate jurisdictions. This Book Analyses The Way In Which Public And Private Regulation Address Environmental Problems Related To Fishing And Forestry By Establishing And Maintaining Property Rights And By Overcoming The Limitations Of Property Rights In Coping With These Common Resource Problems. It Compares The Environmental Governance Of Fishery And Forestry In Nine Jurisdictions.--preliminary Page. Machine Generated Contents Note: 1. Introduction -- 1.1. Background -- 1.1.1.
