Book Synopsis Democratic Decentralisation through a Natural Resource Lens by : Jesse C. Ribot
Download or read book Democratic Decentralisation through a Natural Resource Lens written by Jesse C. Ribot and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume queries the state and effect of the global decentralization movement through the study of natural resource decentralizations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The case studies presented here use a comparative framework to characterize the degree to which natural resource decentralizations can be said to be taking place and, where possible, to measure their social and environmental consequences. In general, the cases show that threats to national-level interests are producing resistance that is fettering the struggle for reform.
Book Synopsis Decentralization of Natural Resource Governance Regimes by : Anne M. Larson
Download or read book Decentralization of Natural Resource Governance Regimes written by Anne M. Larson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter reviews the literature on natural resource decentralization with an emphasis on forests in developing countries. This literature can be located at the intersection between discussions of good governance and democracy, development, and poverty alleviation, on the one hand, and common property resources, community-based resource management, and local resource rights, on the other. Policies implemented in the name of decentralization, however, are often not applied in ways compatible with the democratic potential with which decentralization is conceived, and only rarely have they resulted in pro-poor outcomes or challenged underlying structures of inequity. Greater attention to who receives decentralized powers, the role of property rights, the notion of quot;the local,quot; and the meeting of expert and local knowledge provides insights into key issues and contradictions. Fundamental differences in conceptions of democracy, participation, and development lie behind these contradictions and shape strategies for the redistribution of access to political power and resources, which is implied by decentralization.

Book Synopsis Managing Common Property in an Age of Globalisation by : Emmanuel Manzungu
Download or read book Managing Common Property in an Age of Globalisation written by Emmanuel Manzungu and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A topical collection of essays on common property and resources in Zimbabwe in the light of new challenges posed by globalisation. These challenges are identified as inequitable access to resources, increasing poverty, the degradation of the environment, the supranational efforts to acquire so-called 'global resources' and the concurrent global drive towards democratisation and good governance. The first part presents an overview of local participation in wildlife, fisheries, water, minerals, forestry and land enterprises, setting out common property rights and exploring the empowerment of communal farmers in Zimbabwe. It discusses local experiences; and the realities of the effects of liberalisation in the light of conventional globalist perspectives; and considers in particular water reform. The second part of the book covers the management of trans-boundary natural resources in Zimbabwe and the SADC region; and the impact of global developments on the region. It discusses present international frameworks within which common property resources must be managed; and reflects on the future for common property in Zimbabwe.

Book Synopsis Devolution in natural resource management: institutional arrangements and power shifts: a synthesis of case studies from southern Africa by : Sheona Shackleton
Download or read book Devolution in natural resource management: institutional arrangements and power shifts: a synthesis of case studies from southern Africa written by Sheona Shackleton and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2001-08-09 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study provides a comparative analysis of the devolution and empowerment process in 14 case studies drawn from eight countries in southern Africa. Each case study examined the extent to which policy and legislation devolves significant control over decision making and benefit flows to communities; the legitimacy and power of different community institutions and their relationship with other stakeholders such as local authority structures, NGOs, donor agencies, and the private sector; and lastly the relationship and divisions between different actors and groupings in the community. The impacts of devolution were found to differ considerably among case studies both within and between countries,of the countries from which they derive. The study revealed that while some empowerment schemes appear to be marked success others appear doomed to failure, or if one is more optimistic, have resulted in the development of capacity within certain organisations but are unlikely to result in sustainable systems of natural resource management.In the countries studied, there have been progress towards CBNRM and a more away from the previous, largely unsuccessful, centralised command and control approaches to natural resources management.In some cases the move to community -based management has been more successful in empowering local communities than in others. In most instances there is little evidence, with the possible exception of specific case studies in Nambia and Malawi, to demonstrate that devolved authority has resulted in more sustainable natural resource management. The assumption is that if true community control is in place then sustainable NRM still require attention and further research effort. The study also revealed a range of factors and conditions that may help contribute to the success of CBNRM initiatives and the empowerment of local communities. The chances of CBNRM succeeding appear greater in situations where high value resources are involved, which have the potential to provide communities with an income stream which give incentive to participate and comply with rule and regulation..

Book Synopsis The Drama of the Commons by : National Research Council
Download or read book The Drama of the Commons written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-02-15 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "tragedy of the commons" is a central concept in human ecology and the study of the environment. It has had tremendous value for stimulating research, but it only describes the reality of human-environment interactions in special situations. Research over the past thirty years has helped clarify how human motivations, rules governing access to resources, the structure of social organizations, and the resource systems themselves interact to determine whether or not the many dramas of the commons end happily. In this book, leaders in the field review the evidence from several disciplines and many lines of research and present a state-of-the-art assessment. They summarize lessons learned and identify the major challenges facing any system of governance for resource management. They also highlight the major challenges for the next decade: making knowledge development more systematic; understanding institutions dynamically; considering a broader range of resources (such as global and technological commons); and taking into account the effects of social and historical context. This book will be a valuable and accessible introduction to the field for students and a resource for advanced researchers.
