Description
Summary:THIS ARTICLE INTEGRATES TWO USES OF REGIME FOR THE PURPOSE OF DELINEATING CONDITIONS FOR LONG-TERM USE OF RESOURCES--SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE. IT SHOWS HOW THE TWO USES CAN BE EXTENDED TO INCORPORATE ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS.

IT ARGUES THAT A RESOURCE IS MOST LIKELY TO BE MANAGED SUSTAINABLY WHEN DIRECT USERS HAVE PRIMARY DECISIONMAKING AUTHORITY IN A PROPERTY REGIME AND WHEN THAT REGIME IS NESTED WITHIN A LARGER NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE.
