Derechos y tenencia de los recursos
Los derechos de propiedad existen en muchos niveles sociales diferentes (individual, nuclear o familia extendida, clan o tribu, grupo más grande, etc.) y en diferentes niveles de “formalidad” o estado oficial. Por ejemplo, una propiedad urbana puede tener un propietario individual y un título (formal) emitido por el gobierno. Para este tipo de propiedad, puede ser simple y sencillo comprender la identidad exacta del propietario reconocido oficialmente (al observar el título) y los medios para transferir los derechos de esa propiedad (mediante venta o alquiler). Comprender los derechos de uso de áreas que pertenecen a un mayor número de personas (familias extendidas, clanes o ciertos grupos étnicos) es mucho más complejo. Por ejemplo, los derechos de acceso a las zonas de pastoreo o pesca varían según la temporada o según el clan o el estado tribal de cada uno. Por lo general, existen regulaciones locales sobre la manera en que los miembros del grupo y los no miembros del grupo pueden usar la tierra y sus recursos hídricos o vegetales, y estas a menudo no se registran en papel. Los no miembros pueden tener acceso a la tierra si contribuyen a algún evento grupal o le pagan a alguien por los derechos de uso. Los derechos sobre los recursos en este nivel probablemente estén regulados por líderes locales en lugar de una autoridad gubernamental reconocida, y se denominan derechos “informales” o “acostumbrados” o “tradicionales”.
