Public Resource Management Mechanisms

Use of public natural resources for private gain is a longstanding, hotly contested political and economic issue throughout the world. Publicly owned natural resources generate social benefits beyond private commodity use – recreational, environmental, ecological, biological preservation/conservation, existence values, and aesthetics.

Professor LaFrance will discuss some theories of resource use and exploitation and how this relates to the management of natural resources.
