Abstract:	"The paper reviews information about experience with a number of forms of local collective control over access to and management of forest and forest product resources. The strengths and weaknesses of this form of governance in comparison with alternatives are reviewed. Reasons for the decline in many historical forest common property systems are examined, as are factors likely to determine the viability of contemporary systems."
