"This paper examines the processes of indigenous privatization and concurrent regulation of the important fodder tree samata (Euphorbia stenoclada) among the Tanalana people of southwest Madagascar from a long-term perspective. Using case study material from 20 villages in the coastal region of the Mahafaly Plateau, a framework for institutional change is applied to explore the drivers and relevant factors shaping the processes of appropriation and regulation. While private property rights on the resource have become widely socially accepted, the creation of institutions regulating the appropriation is hampered by strong bargaining power on the side of the appropriators paired with a lack of power and collective action by local communities and the locals’ ideology on the legitimation of resource appropriation which is shaped by an historical background of few institutional restrictions. Stressing the interplay of ideology and bargaining power in the context-specific constellation of actors, this paper contributes to the understanding of property rights transformation and institutional change in self-organized, traditional societies." |
