This chapter discusses the various themes addressed in this book, which explores questions of the relationship between property law and energy and natural resources in a wide range of national as well as supra-national and international legal settings. The collection captures different views about the role that property plays in diverse energy and resource contexts: in civil law and common law systems; in market rules; in the law of customary and indigenous communities; and in public law and private law. It includes discussion of private rights and common property situations; and of competition for land use and resources.Edited by Aileen McHarg, Barry Barton, Adrian Bradbrook and Lee Goddenhttp://trove.nla.gov.au/work/3676489
