Governing access to essential resources

Katharina Pistor (Editor), Olivier de Schutter (Editor)
This book argues that essential resources ought to be governed by a combination of Voice and Reflexivity: the ability of social groups to choose the rules by which they are governed and the opportunity to question one's own preferences in light of competing claims and to accommodate them in a collective learning process.
