	abstract = {Recently, traditional resources management and common property regimes have received renewed interest, partly resulting from the search for sustainable alternatives to current models of resource use. Common property resources management for sustainable development is the focus of this book. Part of the papers were presented at meetings. The problems, definitions and various concepts of common property and resource management regimes are set out, and an overview of the significance of common property systems is provided. The role of community-level institutions in the management of common property resources is explored and certain concepts from natural and social sciences which are central to the management of common property resources are identified and discussed. The concepts developed are relevant to a diversity of renewable natural resource types: from forestry to pasture and range management, wildlife, fisheries and water. Finally, case studies of single and multiple resource management from Japan, Mexico, USA, the Philippines, India, Mali and the South Pacific (Melanesia) are presented.},
