The Journal of Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law / After Recognition

This special issue studies the claims by minority and indigenous groups to the recognition of special status or rights in natural resources, and the possible effects of their success, especially in the light of the rising cost and increasing failure of command and control natural resource management systems. Cases are examined from the Northern Philippines, Southern Africa, the Vietnamese Uplands, Sumatra Indonesia, Ghana, Atlantic Canada, Norway and Kunming China.
