Abstract

From p. 106-107: "This paper draws on new and existing bodies of ecological, social and economic theory that have much to offer in strengthening the analysis of environment-society interactions. Interdisciplinary research in the social sciences (especially anthropology, political science and economies), history and ecology, shows how macro and micro constraints and potentials combine to shape the ways different groups of people gain access to and control over resources, and in doing so manipulate their local environments in ways that may in turn alter those constraints and potentials. This perspective draws on and is influenced by various intellectual traditions, including the entitlements approach of Amartya Sen, extended to encompass the question of effective legitimate command over RNRs; other approaches in the new institutional economics; structuration theory; new thinking on ecology at disequilibrium; and political ecology."
