SUMMARY:Ecosytems of Northern India\, the Commons and the Law by Prof. Minoti-Chakravarty-Kaul
DESCRIPTION:Agrarian reform has often been a double-edged strike on co
 mmon property. Collectives organized around territorial commons based 
 on customary rights were often perceived as threats to administrative 
 spatial boundaries within the emerging nations.  Thus it was often ide
 ology and politics that provided the rhetoric for tenurial reforms whi
 le it was the politicking during institutional design and implementati
 on which prevented the realization of the intended goals of poverty al
 leviation\, equity and social justice.\n\n      A major question that 
 arises is whether legislative development or court actions can be more
  appropriate tools for tenurial reforms than institutional design by p
 olitics?  In most countries in South Asia and Africa\, ecological cond
 itions vary so greatly from region to region\, that a centralized and 
 uniform statutory land tenure reforms tend to produce unintended conse
 quences right from the outset. Very often the poorest segments of the 
 rural communities are directly hit because those aspects of rights to 
 common property resources which complemented private individual proper
 ty rights were either ignored or annihilated\, even in so-called socia
 list economies.
