Abstract

From the Introduction

"The paper articulates (i) the characterising of the property rights and the Common Property Resources (CPRs) relationships at stake, (ii) the governance of the sector, and (iii) the need for setting up coordinated de jure rights on the resource through both channels of local and global actors. It focuses on Calcutta and Madras (now called Chennai) as case studies."
