The collection of papers in the book Property Rights and the Environment: Social and Ecological Issues and this companion volume examine the relationships between people, the environment, and property rights and the ways in which a given social and ecological context affects those relationships. The papers are products of a research program at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Stockholm. The main objective of the program was to convene social scientists and natural scientists to address research questions in their full social and ecological dimensions.The program\&$\#$39;s participants addressed five general issues related to property rights and the environment:

  1. the design of governance systems for sustainability
  2. the relationship between equity, stewardship, and environmental resilience
  3. the use of traditional knowledge in resource management
  4. the mechanisms that link people to their environments, and
  5. the role played by population and poverty.

This volume presents case studies that address questions of design application in those five areas. Also available: Property Rights and the Environment: Social and Ecological Issues. (ISBN 0-8213- 3415-8) Stock No. 13415.
