Shared resources : issues of governance

Hart, Sharell, ed.

IUCN, Environmental Law Centre

This publication examines the characteristics of successful transboundary resource management. Various cases of different shared resources, from water to fish to air, are described and their strengths and weaknesses analysed.Successful management of transboundary resources is growing in relevance as resources become sparse and conflicts over them increase. However, many of its elements have not yet been sufficiently defined and applied. The publication will serve to further this important discussion.
