Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Natural capital commons and keystone constitutions: the theoretical contextFederal systems as a nested commons : the case of United States decentralization -- Commerce in the commons -- Dynamic commons resources, undynamic federalism -- Domestic federalism's potential limitation on international law : a U.S. forest case study -- Forest commons, climate change, and federalism beyond the United States : a survey of federal systems -- Keying on federal systems with weak keystone constitutions : the role of private versus public forest ownership in U.S. and Canadian law and policy -- Forging fail-safe federalism by strengthening keystone constitutions. Constitutions and the Commons looks at a critical but little examined issue of the degree to which the federal constitution of a nation contributes toward or limits the ability of the national government to manage its natural resources (or commons). Furthermore it considers how far the constitution facilitates the binding of constituent states, provinces or subnational units to honor the conditions of international environmental treaties. While the main focus is on the US, there is also detailed coverage of other nations such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, India and Russia.
