"Historical Evidence on the Incidence and Role of Common Property Regimes in the Indian Himalayas"

Baumann, P. B. “Historical Evidence on the Incidence and Role of Common Property Regimes in the Indian Himalayas.” Environment and History 3, no. 3, (Oct., 1997): 323–342. doi:10.3197/096734097779555827. Historical evidence is often used in contemporary debates about future policy to promote particular ideological positions on the role that common property regimes should play. This paper examines these positions and argues that common property regimes in the Indian Himalayas historically provided only one of an interdependent set of production strategies.
