Government intervention into Sámi Reindeer‐management in Norway: Has it prevented or provoked ‘tragedies of the commons'?Footnote¹

A draft version of this paper was presented at the session “Sustainable Development in the Circumpolar North” at the 5th Common Property Conference (“Reinventing the Commons”), 24–28 May 1995, Bodø, Norway. I am grateful for all comments ‐ oral and written ‐ made upon this first version; especially from Ivar Bjørklund, Ottar Brox, my colleagues at the Sámi Institute, and ‐ in particular ‐Lars Ivar Hansen. I am also grateful to Nicholas Tyler, who read through a late version, and gave me valuable linguistic ‐ and biological! ‐ comments.
