The Political Uncommons

The Cross-Cultural Logic of the Global Commons

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a cultural history of the global commons, connecting the logic of legal institutions governing global commons to colonial doctrines that dispossessed indigenous peoples of their land. It demonstrates how global commons regimes might benefit from the cross-cultural logics found where indigenous peoples have gained recognition of their common tenure systems in Western courts.
