This text looks to the history of "the commons" in American and European social thought to better understand contemporary environmental problems. The authors reveal the law's insufficient comprehension of community rights and advocate realistic policy alternatives.
This book looks to the history of the ''the commons'' in American and European social thought to better understand contemporary environmental problems. The authors show how American law governing lands and resources relies on the individualist assumptions of Enlightenment thinkers, who regarded land as ''wasted'' when not being ''improved'' by European agriculture or colonization. Curry and McGuire trace the history of this philosophical and historical legacy and reveal its strong influence on American concepts on community and land. They not only reveal the law''s insufficient comprehension of community rights, but they also advocate realistic policy alternatives whereby community governance can better solve the challenges of resource management and other American social problems.
