The institutional arrangements that define natural resource governance are outcomes of political processes, whereby numerous groups with often-divergent interests negotiate for access to and control over resources. These political processes determine the outcomes of resource governance reform efforts, such as widespread attempts to decentralize or devolve greater tenure over land and resources to local communities. This volume examines the political dynamics of natural resource governance processes through a range of comparative case studies across east and southern Africa. These cases include both local and national settings, and examine issues such as land rights, tourism development, wildlife conservation, participatory forest management, and the impacts of climate change, and are drawn from both academics and field practitioners working across the region."--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Nature conservation -- Government policy -- Africa Conservation of natural resources -- Government policy -- Africa Biodiversity -- Government policy -- Africa Land tenure -- Africa Community development -- Africa Political participation -- Africa BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Development -- Sustainable Development.
