In a very famous article in

Science

(1969)

Garrett Hardin introduces the concept "the tragedy

of the commons·. He argues from his

eld of natural science that there are many global

problems of common good that are never solved as nobody takes full responsibility for its

solution. Climate and other environmental issues clearly fall into this class of problems. The

battle over water resources and ocean resources. are other examples.
