For many nations, a key challenge is how to achieve sustainable
development without a return to centralized planning. Using case
studies from Greenland, Hawaii and northern Norway, this 2006 book
examines whether 'bottom-up' systems such as customary law can play
a critical role in achieving viable systems for managing natural
resources. Customary law consists of underlying social norms that
may become the acknowledged law of the land. The key to determining
whether a custom constitutes customary law is whether the public
acts as if the observance of the custom is legally obligated. While
the use of customary law does not always produce sustainability,
the study of customary methods of resource management can produce
valuable insights into methods of managing resources in a
sustainable way.
