Description: "This book analyzes the law and policy for the management of global common resources. As competing demands on the global commons are increasing, the protection of the environment and the pursuit of growth give rise to all sorts of conflicts. The book analyzes issues in the protection of the global commons from fairness, effectiveness, and world order perspectives. The author examines whether current policy making and future trends point to a fair allocation of global common resources that will be effective in protecting the environment and in the pursuit of sustainable development."--Jacket.
