It concludes with a postscript by Jesse Ribot and Nancy Peluso, reflecting on this special issue and I A Theory of Access i 15 years after its publication. Also in subsequent works, Peluso is concerned with resource access and property, e.g. in her analysis of property rights dynamics of fruit trees in West Kalimantan (Peluso [11]). Thus, reading of Ribot and Peluso ([14]) can be productively combined with reading of Ribot ([13]) especially because the latter provides the rich empirical details and examples that the more conceptual piece, Ribot and Peluso ([14]), understandably could not. By emphasizing property established through law, custom and convention, Ribot and Peluso incorporate the notion of legal pluralism and forum shopping (von Benda-Beckmann and von Benda-Beckmann 1999); and that property relations are often ambiguous and contested.
