Conflicts over natural resources abound in India, where much of the
population is dependent on these resources for their livelihoods.
Issues of governance and management are complicated by the
competing claims of parallel legal systems, including state,
customary, religious, project and local laws. Whereas much has been
written about property rights, this unique collection takes a legal
anthropological perspective to explore how the coexistence and
interaction between multiple legal orders provide bases for
claiming property rights. It examines how hybrid legal institutions
have developed over time in India and how these impact on justice
in the governance and distribution of natural resources. The book
brings together original case studies that offer fresh perspectives
on the governance of forests, water, fisheries and agricultural
land in a diverse range of social and spatial contexts. This brand
new research provides a timely and persuasive overview of the
fundamental role of parallel legal systems in shaping how people
manage natural resources. It will be of interest to scholars and
practitioners of environmental law, property law, environmental
politics, anthropology, sociology and geography.
