Title: Justice and Shared Use of Common Goods
Abstract: This paper analyzes how justice applies to the rights that people have to a shared resource, like freshwater. I discuss an application of the proviso that one must engage with the commons in ways that leaves ‘enough and as good’ in common for others. One upshot of my argument is that shared resources, especially shared between different communities or nations, must be carefully managed by all sharing parties. This interpretation of this proviso can have far-reaching implications for environmental and resource development.
