商品簡介
Comparatively examining different environmental outcomes at three sites in Indonesia's southern Aceh region, McCarthy (scientific researcher and anthropologist at the Asia Research Centre, Murdoch U., Australia) analyzes how local customary law (adat) regimes, de facto district authorities, and the various manifestations of the state interact to create particular institutional arrangements governing resource use in Indonesia's forests. In the course of his discussion, he looks at how local agro-ecological systems and customary practices have adjusted to political and economic change and uncertainty, the effects of project and policy innovations that attempt to address environmental resource issues, and the dynamics driving extra-legal logging and the problems facing biodiversity conservation projects.
