Without effective participation, the participatory policies, I. INTRODUCTION AND CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND 26 2. COMMUNITY-BASED NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT such as CF may become a form of “covert privatization” that leads to centralized resource control, yet existing within common property ownership (Anderson, 2000). The question of power to influence resource management decisions is important. 4 EXPANDING OSTROM’S APPROACH: DELIBERATIVE GOVERNANCE AND CRITICAL ACTION RESEARCH Given that Ostrom’s seminal work on collective action has been increasingly questioned for its universal applicability in more complex and dynamic contexts of natural resource governance, questions on tackling power and enhancing free and open deliberation among local people and external stakeholders have become even more crucial.
Ostrom’s works are advanced in response to critiques during her lifetime and after her death. Analysts have shown that collective action among self-interested individuals is possible, but only under certain conditions (National Research Council, 1986; Ostrom, 1990; Agrawal, 2007, 2014). Other scholars argue that the behavior and actions of individuals are not exclusively determined by self-interest, but trust, norms, and power influence actions and thereby offset pure self-interest (Petrzelka and Bell, 2000; Granovetter and Swedberg, 2001).
Some people consider equity in distribution, decision making, and fund allocation (Chhetri and Nurse, 1992; Bosma, 1995). Fisher (1989) argues that equity involves getting a fair share, not necessarily an equal share. Messerschmidt (1981) argues that equity may be defined differently in hierarchical societies, where unequal outcomes are not necessarily seen as inequitable. The important point remains that an equitable system should not further disadvantage the poor (Gilmour and Fisher, 1991). Two critical dimensions of equity are often highlighted.
