Description: Competition for essential resources is increasing, and standard legal institutions, such as property rights and national border controls, are strangling access to resources for some while delivering prosperity to others. As a result, many are searching for ways to ensure fair distribution. This book argues that essential resources ought to be governed by a combination of voice and reflexivity.
