Abstract:
|
"The paper finds that the concepts of property rights law seem to be independent of the social science concern about divisibility of benefit and excludability from consumption. However, in the borderlands to property rights law, in human rights law and public rights to joint use of natural resources, some interesting constructs exist, like 'bygde'-commons and some relations best described as quasi-ownership. These may be of interest to the design of new management systems. In social science recognition of a distinction between indivisibilities of the ecological production system and divisibility of benefit may help clarity the management problem. It will for example largely rule out the use of geographical boundaries as a means for shaping motivations of just distribution of benefit is a goal for the management system."
