AB - This study examines the neoliberalizing nature of water, forest, and fishery which have been recognized as commons. The water commodification, forest use and carbon trading, and fishery quota pursued for economic efficiency reveal limits and contradictions in environmental and equity aspects. Examined with respect to the first and the third world relationship and the effects on locales, the causes of dwindling water, forest and fisheries are not from the free ride problem purported in the tragedy of the commons argument, but from the capitals’ profit seeking strategies: water provision by the first world multi-national corporation, national and international agencies’ development orientation, and the quota allocation of fishery catch working for the large capitals. Such contradictions allow us to understand the neoliberalizing nature as the accumulation by dispossession of the commons. The commons based community economies could be thought out as an alternative for sustainable environment and equitable local social economy.
