Book excerpt: Pluralism is a political belief that acknowledges individuals’ rights to pursue their interests, but requires society to resolve differences where they infringe upon each other. This guide shows how pluralism helps people to value social differences and provides clear principles and rules about how to coordinate those differences. The guide reviews pluralism’s origins, key elements and strengths and weaknesses. It examines how people think about differences, including the psychological obstacles that cause us to exclude or ignore others. Practices are examined with examples drawn from forest-related contexts: legal pluralism, multistakeholder processes and diversity in work teams. Questions are provided to help the reader assess and practice pluralism in their own settings. The guide concludes that understanding the political assumptions and principles of pluralism can enrich our understanding of current practices to develop fundamentally new approaches to forest decision-making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This thesis proposes that an examination of the complex politics in the forestry sector of Indonesia will result in a model for understanding Indonesian politics more generally. The forestry sector has been chosen because of its importance to the Indonesian economy, and the large number of non-government organisations (NGOs) in the sector which have dedicated their activities to preserving the Indonesian forest environment.--Orthodox analyses of Indonesian politics have argued that the politics of policy making in the New Order are isolated from non-state (and depoliticised) constituency pressure. If the orthodox analysts are correct, forestry policy should be designed and implemented by the Indonesian bureaucracy unaffected by any advocacy of the NGOs. However, this thesis contends that there is indeed a state/constituency relationship in policy processes in the forestry sector of Indonesia. Moreover, the state/constituency relationship can be seen as part of an evolutionary Indonesian polity in which the demands of the constituencies are accepted as a legitimate part of national politics. But while the environmental NGOs' advocacy can be considered part of the Indonesian political terrain, the NGOs none-the-less 'pick their fights' with the state, thereby making their actions oftentimes, opportunistic and targeted. To assist our understanding of the complex state/constituency relationship in the forestry sector, the thesis suggests a theoretical approach, 'targeted pluralism'. Targeted pluralism builds on the theoretical model of 'restricted pluralism' proposed by R. W. Liddle, and offers three other mechanisms of influence (International Patronage, Flexible Participation and BINGO [Big NGO] Involvement) used by constituencies to have their policy demands met by the New Order government. Targeted pluralism marks a small but incremental step towards a model of Indonesian politics that accommodates more transparent and pluralistic politics, at least in the Indonesian forestry sector, and argues that on occasion constituencies can target state policies and the bureaucracy to have their particularistic demands met.-- The thesis begins by offering a review of the environmental/political literature on the Indonesian forestry sector. The theoretical model of 'restricted pluralism' is then discussed and its applicability to the Indonesian forestry sector assessed The historical and political contexts which have shaped contemporary Indonesian forestry policy are reviewed before moving onto the case-studies. The thesis provides three case-studies which suggest that the environmental NGOs, and other constituencies, have sought and achieved policy outcomes sympathetic to their particular political demands. The first case-study offers an analysis of the campaign concerning a proposed P.T. Astra-Scott Cellulosa pulp and paper project in Irian Jaya and the challenge national and international environmental NGOs presented to domestic Indonesian policy during and after the campaign. The second case-study chronicles the struggle of activists to have the state alter existing policy on the level of economic rent captured by the state, which the activists claimed, remained below acceptable levels given the nature of the sector and the disproportionate amount of rent accurnulated by timber industrialists. The final case study shows a promising form of cooperation between the state, bureaucratic agencies and environmental NGOs, to improve the state of the forests in Java while increasing the standard of living for rural populations dependent on the same forested areas. The conclusion that the thesis and case studies encourage is one which supports an understanding of Indonesian politics being far more complex and pluralistic than previously believed, and where there is more 'beneath-the-surface' and above-the-surface political activity in Indonesian than expected.
Download or read book The Governance of Legal Pluralism written by Werner Zips and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2011 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law is considered by lawyers and sociologists to be at the very center of social integration in Western societies, whereas social anthropological discourses regard law as marginal in non-Western societies. Empirical studies of multi-sited legal frameworks in many post-colonial political settings demonstrate the difficulties to achieve any predictable mode of governance, much less "good governance." This book challenges both the marginalization of legal arrangements and discourses in social anthropology, as well as the marginalization of legal anthropology within social anthropology. It combines the related fields of Political and Legal Anthropology in order to contribute towards a meaningful (re)integration of the anthropology of law into the mainstream of social anthropology.

Download or read book Community Forestry in the United States written by Mark Baker and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the United States, people are developing new relationships with the forest ecosystems on which they depend, with a common goal of improving the health of the land and the well-being of their communities. Practitioners and supporters of what has come to be called community forestry are challenging current approaches to forest management as they seek to end the historical disfranchisement of communities and workers from forest management and the all-too-pervasive trends of long-term disinvestment in ecosystems and human communities that have undermined the health of both. Community Forestry in the United States is an analytically rigorous and historically informed assessment of this new movement. It examines the current state of community forestry through a grounded assessment of where it stands now and where it might go in the future. The book not only clarifies the state of the movement, but also suggests a trajectory and process for its continued development.

Download or read book Forty years of community based forestry written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2016 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s and 1980s, community-based forestry has grown in popularity, based on the concept that local communities, when granted sufficient property rights over local forest commons, can organize autonomously and develop local institutions to regulate the use of natural resources and manage them sustainably. Over time, various forms of community-based forestry have evolved in different countries, but all have at their heart the notion of some level of participation by smallholders and community groups in planning and implementation. This publication is FAO’s first comprehensive look at the impact of community-based forestry since previous reviews in 1991 and 2001. It considers both collaborative regimes (forestry practised on land with formal communal tenure requiring collective action) and smallholder forestry (on land that is generally privately owned). The publication examines the extent of community-based forestry globally and regionally and assesses its effectiveness in delivering on key biophysical and socioeconomic outcomes, i.e. moving towards sustainable forest management and improving local livelihoods. The report is targeted at policy-makers, practitioners, researchers, communities and civil society.
Download or read book Natural Resources Environment and Legal Pluralism written by René Kuppe and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1997 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law & Anthropology Yearbook brings together a collection of studies that discuss legal problems raised by cultural differences between people & the law to which they are subject. Most of the contributions to Volume 9 were presented at the IXth International Symposium of the Commission on Folk Law & Legal Pluralism, & focus on the subject of 'Natural Resources, Environment, & Legal Pluralism'. The natural resources which form the environment of rural people are subject to increasing pressures. Intensive forms of resource extraction increasingly endanger the continued availability & ecological quality of land, forest & water resources. Especially in regions inhabited by indigenous peoples, struggles over the control & social & economic function of natural resources are directly linked to conflicts over political & economic self-determination. Inevitably, the different legal systems, & the substantive & procedural possibilities they provide, become involved in struggles over political, economic & ecological values & objectives. The focus on natural resource management issues therefore is a particularly fruitful field to examine the contemporary functions of folk law in complex legal & economic systems.

Download or read book Routledge Readings on Law Development and Legal Pluralism written by Kalpana Kannabiran and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Routledge Readings on Law, Development and Legal Pluralism presents some of the finest essays on social justice, environment, rights and governance. With a lucid new Introduction, it covers a vast range of issues and offers a compelling guide to understanding the harm and risk relating to biodiversity, agro-ecology, disaster and forest rights. The book covers critical themes such as ecology, families and governance and establishes the trajectory of contemporary ecology and law in South Asia. The thirteen chapters in the volume, divided into three sections, trace violence and marginality in the plurality of families and their laws in India, as well as discuss community-based just practices. With debates on development, governance and families, the book highlights the politics and practices of law making, law reform and law application. This multidisciplinary volume foregrounds the politics and plural lives of/in law by including perspectives from major authors who have contributed to the academic and/ or policy discourse of the subject. This book will be useful to students, scholars, policymakers and practitioners interested in a nuanced understanding of law, especially those studying law, marginality, kinship and indigeneity studies. It will serve as essential reading for those in law, socio-legal studies, environment studies and ecology, social exclusion studies, development studies, South Asian studies, human rights, jurisprudence and constitutional studies, gender studies, history, politics, conflict and peace studies, sociology and social anthropology. It will also appeal to legal historians and practitioners of law, environmentalists and those in public administration.
Download or read book Truth and Pluralism written by Nikolaj J.L.L. Pedersen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relative merits and demerits of historically prominent views about truth, such as the correspondence theory, coherentism, pragmatism, verificationism, and instrumentalism have been subject to much attention, and have fueled the long-lived debate over which of these views is the most plausible. While diverging in their specific philosophical commitments, adherents of these views are in agreement in at least one fundamental respect: they are all alethic monists. They endorse the thesis that there is only one property in virtue of which propositions can be true, and so, in this sense, take truth to be one. The truth pluralist, on the other hand, rejects this idea: there are several properties in virtue of which propositions can be true. The literature on truth pluralism has been growing steadily for the past twenty years. This volume, however, is the first to focus specifically on pluralism about truth. Part I is dedicated to the development, investigation, and critical discussion of different forms of pluralism. One additional reason to examine truth pluralism is the significant connections it bears to other debates in the truth literature--particularly debates concerning traditional theories of truth and the deflationism/inflationism divide. Parts II and III of the volume connect truth pluralism to these two debates.
