Property rights are the legal and social rules that define who can use, own, and transfer property. They are essential for economic development, as they provide incentives for people to invest in and care for property. However, property rights can also be a source of conflict, as different people and groups may have conflicting claims to the same property.

This book explores the complex relationship between property rights, cooperation, and conflict. It examines the different ways in which property rights can be defined and enforced, and the impact that these different definitions and enforcement mechanisms have on economic development and social conflict.

The book also provides a number of case studies that illustrate the different ways in which property rights can be used to resolve conflicts and promote cooperation. These case studies come from a variety of countries and cultures, and they provide a rich source of evidence for the importance of property rights in shaping human behavior.
