Recent wave of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation
(LPG) of national economies has limited the policy options of a
greater number of developing countries. The impact of LPG on public
policy formulation is evident both at the macro and micro level. At
the macro level, various national governments are no longer in a
position to retain state regulation not only in the economic realm
but also with respect to the social sectors. Macro level policies
are aimed at increasing the stake of private players and the
privatisation drive is largely at the cost of state control. Micro
level issues are sector- and case-specific. LPG has impacted Common
Property Resources (CPRs) in many ways. For example, there has been
a fatal blow to the harmonious relationship between state
regulation and community ownership regimes. The issue of water is a
good case in point. The opening up of the state regime of CPRs to
the free play of foreign and domestic capital has adversely
affected the interests of marginal, vulnerable and socially
disadvantaged groups of society. Privatisation has resulted in the
reckless exploitation of CPRs by foreign and domestic private
corporations. This work is an attempt to explore the
multi-dimensional effects of globalisation, liberalisation and
privatisation on common property resources in the context of human
rights.
