Abstract

"In the Niger Inland Delta, an ambiguous system of rules concerning use and access to the natural resources favour a few powerful people. These people control the resources, were able to change local institutions in their favour and are profiting from them today. But unlike other case studies in this issue, profitable parts of the traditional system remain in place."
