Democratic Decentralisation through a Natural Resource Lens: Cases from Africa, Asia and Latin America

Editat de Jesse Ribot, Anne Larson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 dec 2004
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.
