| Description | Wollenberg, E.; Anderson, J.; Lopez, C. 2005. Though all things differ: pluralism as a basis for cooperation in forests. Bogor, Indonesia, CIFOR. vii, 101p.Beginning in the mid 1990s, practitioners and theoreticians working in forestry and rural development around the world observed that conflicting interests and increasingly different and independent perspectives on forests required a fundamentally new approach to forest decision-making. Relying on recommendations and decisions made by centralized forest departments and experts was no longer sufficient for meet the diverse needs of society. Pluralism offered an alternative that more closely matched social realities. Pluralism could also provide checks and balances to help learning and control power imbalances. In 1997 a working group on pluralism, sustainable forestry and rural development therefore met at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome to explore the possibilities for developing cooperation among different groups in the forest sector. One of the conclusions of the workshop was the need for “more research, including comparative analysis and detailed case studies” (1999:8). |
