| Abstract or Summary |
- Nepal’s community forestry has been internationally recognized as an example of
successful case of collective action. However, many scholars argue that although it has
been successful in protecting forests from degradation, it has not been able to create an
inclusive platform for political decision-making process. Using historical analysis,
comparative case studies and social network analysis, this research examines the
opportunities and barriers to a successful implementation of community forestry program
in Nepal. The results show that when given proper rights and responsibilities, local
communities have the potential to successfully protect and manage their resources.
However, it was evident that larger political and economic forces influence the locals’
capacity to protect their resources, and existing social hierarchy and inequality continue
to marginalize the disadvantaged groups, thus affecting their ability to participate in the
decision-making processes. This research argues for a deeper historical analysis as an
essential aspect to evaluate collective action, since it provides a context for existing
social, political and economic structures. The results of this study are further used to
evaluate the discrepancies of theory of collective action, and provide suggestions for
theoretical framework for broader implementation.
