The Theory and Practice of Environmental Property Rights

Fall 2025 Harry ’51 and Joshua ’49 Tsujimoto Perspectives in Global Development Seminar Series Speaker: Michael Cox, Dartmouth University Abstract: How do we – and how should we – engage with the natural environment through the concepts of rights and responsibilities? In this presentation, Michael Cox will discuss how he addresses this question in his recent book, Common Boundaries. In the book, Cox develops the theory and practice of environmental property rights, moving beyond simplistic assumptions that do not reflect the diversity of arrangements we see in the world. Recognizing this diversity will help us craft better responses to environmental problems in the future with an interdisciplinary foundation in what has worked, or not worked, in the past. Synthesizing a variety of methods and disciplines, Cox explores rights-based environmental policies as well as different cultural approaches to environmental ownership. About the speaker: Michael Cox is a Professor and Chair of Environmental Studies at Dartmouth College. He is an environmental social scientist specializing in environmental governance, with a particular emphasis on community-based natural resource management. He has conducted fieldwork on local resource management in the Southwestern United States and the Dominican Republic. His first book, Common Boundaries: The Theory and Practice of Environmental Property, delves into the significance of environmental property rights across academic disciplines, cultures, and types of environment policy. Additionally, Cox co-founded and co-hosts the In Common Podcast, which features discussions of the lives, research, and endeavors of scholars and practitioners dedicated to fostering sustainable human-environment interactions.
