Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003: Despite their growing political significance, the linkages between local resource management and the global political economy are often poorly understood. This book addresses these linkages in a grounded analysis of extractive reserves : areas in Brazil set aside for local populations who depend on natural resources for their livelihood. Extractive reserves are the result of the struggle of the rubber tappers for control over their natural resources and worldwide concern with the conservation of the Amazon Rainforest. The author examines their significance for Brazil as a pioneering legislative and policy initiative to combine conservation with productive use of natural resources, to recognize common property rights to natural resources, and to support traditional populations’ modes of production. Extractive Reserves in Brazilian Amazonia examines the formation and institutional sustainability of the reserves, and in so doing provides a valuable insight into the relationship between local institutions and the wider socio-political and economic context with regard to forest management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic literature of property rights has been assessing the impact of different community based arrangements on the efficiency of natural resource management of specific areas. Differently, other strands of development economics and policy-oriented research have been concerned with issues such as poverty alleviation, technological progress and the capability to compete in market economies, which go beyond the local areas where traditional communities live and include the wider economy. The extractive reserves in the Brazilian Amazon offer perhaps one of the most interesting cases for investigating the connections between these two approaches in the context of tropical forests. It is based on the idea that the combination of public property with collective use in particular forest areas can generate competitive and, at the same time, sustainable exploitation of its natural resources. This paper aims to analyse whether the existing property rights support the joint objective of conservation and development. Our main result is that current property rights systems are efficient only with respect to competition in markets for existing extractive products. This finding points out to a fundamental contradiction between the static structure of the property rights systems and the dynamic nature of two most promising development paths, namely the discovery of new products and the supply of biological inputs for plantations. The current model of extractive reserves based on the design of internal property rights fails to taken into account the broader economic context where the reserves must generate a viable revenue stream. We conclude therefore that under the current set of institutions, the development objectives inherent in the extractive reserves model are likely to face probably considerable challenges to be accomplished in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbosa (sociology, San Francisco State University) provides a global, world-systemic analysis of the problem of deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. He shows how changes in global ecopolitics demanding sustainable development, coupled with the onset of democracy in Brazil, substantially altered the battle over the future of Amazonia. He describes deforestation in the region in the context of an expanding frontier of global capitalism, and compares Amazon experiences with those of Costa Rica, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: In the 20 years since the murder of rubber tapper leader Chico Mendes and subsequent creation of Extractive Reserves (ERs), ERs have become a popular conservation and development tool in the Brazilian Amazon. However, ER residents have faced challenges to improving their livelihoods based on sustainable use of the forest, leading to a shift towards cattle ranching and a questioning of rubber tappers' status as sustainable forest managers. This dissertation focuses on three core themes. The first examines overall ER policy evolution over two decades in the Amazon. The second examines issues of land-use/land-cover change and changing livelihoods among forest extractivists in the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve (CMER) in Xapuri/Acre compared with cattle adoption by smallholder colonists. The third explores the implications of livelihood changes for the evolving self-definition of rubber tappers. This dissertation is guided by theoretical perspectives of political ecology, environment and development, and land-use/land-cover science. It analyzes socioeconomic data gathered through multiple household surveys and government agencies, qualitative information from key informant interviews, and land-cover change detection.
