Rationales of Ownership presents empirical case studies on the concepts of ownership seen through Papua New Guinean eyes and related through ethnographic work which the contributors, all social anthropologists and a lawyer, have undertaken through their substantial ethnographic work in Papua New Guinea. All the contributors to the book have undertaken doctoral research work in the specific societies in which they write on in this book. Their contributions in this book are based on these. The book therefore gives a refreshing Papua New Guinean perspective to the concept of ownership. It should therefore be a valuable contribution to scholars, jurists, and others working in the area of property rights, particularly concepts of indigenous property rights, possession and ownership.
