Management of Multiple-use Commons: Focusing on Land Use for Forestry and Reindeer Husbandry in Northern Sweden
"This thesis addresses an example of multiple-use commons problems: the case of land use for forestry and reindeer husbandry. Forestry use land for industrial purposes while reindeer husbandry (practiced by the indigenous people, the Sami) use the same land for reindeer grazing. The land use ri...
