Natural Resource Management and Institutional Change

Informationen zum Autor Diana Carney, John Farrington Klappentext Using new evidence from a three year programme of research in developing countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa, the authors describe how government organizations have been privatised, decentralised or restructured while private sector organizations - both non-profit and commercial - have taken on increasingly important roles in resource management and service supply. This book provides an important and easily accessible point of reference for decision-makers and students alike, offering unique view in its breadth of coverage across the natural resources sector and a range of different institutional types and approaches to resource management. Zusammenfassung This book examines the effects of recent changes in the way natural resources and supporting services are managed and in the rights and responsibilities of resource users in developing countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa.
