Abstract

"David Bray’s essay makes reference to a success story in Mexican forest communities in accessing and governing common property resources. It is interesting and infact energizing reading; most of the cases of commons study do not highlight the level of success attained by the Mexican forest communities who are now empowered to become global players. Most studies of the struggle for common property rights do not end 'happily ever after.' Far from it."
