Subject: Rural Decentralization and Local Governance

Keywords: popular participation, governance, resources conservation, natural resources, decentralization in government

Abstract: This paper questions the concept of democratic decentralization and its reductionist focus on state, powers, and subsidiarity. Part of the problem lies with the ways conservation discourse and decentralization theory are de-linked from more complex concepts of governance.
