This innovative and interdisciplinary book makes a major
contribution to common pool resource studies. It offers a new
perspective on the sustainable governance of common resources,
grounded in contemporary and archival research on the common lands
of England and Wales - an important common resource with multiple,
and often conflicting, uses. It encompasses ecologically sensitive
environments and landscapes, is an important agricultural resource
and provides public access to the countryside for recreation.
Contested Common Land brings together historical and contemporary
legal scholarship to examine the environmental governance of common
land from c.1600 to the present day. It uses four case studies to
illustrate the challenges presented by the sustainable management
of common property from an interdisciplinary perspective - from the
Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, North Norfolk coast and the
Cambrian Mountains. These demonstrate that cultural assumptions
concerning the value of common land have changed across the
centuries, with profound consequences for the law, land management,
the legal expression of concepts of common 'property' rights and
their exercise. The 'stakeholders' of today are the inheritors of
this complex cultural legacy, and must negotiate diverse and
sometimes conflicting objectives in their pursuit of a potentially
unifying goal: a secure and sustainable future for the commons. The
book also has considerable contemporary relevance, providing a
timely contribution to discussion of strategies for the
implementation of the Commons Act of 2006. The case studies
position the new legislation in England and Wales within the wider
context of institutional scholarship on the governance principles
for successful common pool resource management, and the rejection
of the 'tragedy of the commons'.
