Knowledge Systems and Natural Resources is a unique collection of case studies from Nepal. It provides rich and incisive insights into critical social processes and deliberative governance. It analyses how knowledge is produced, disseminated and applied in various aspects of natural resource governance in Nepal. The book challenges the dichotomy between traditional and scientific knowledge. It proposes to differentiate among systems of knowledge on the basis of political standing of social actors engaged in natural resource governance. It further proposes that change in governance hinges on how the diverse systems of knowledge come into deliberative interface and to what extent the unequal distribution of power and knowledge resources in society constrain the process of deliberation.Knowledge Systems & Natural ResourcesNatural resourcesGovernment policyNepalNatural resourcesNepalManagementCitizen participationEthnoscienceNepalTraditional ecological knowledgeNepalNatural resourcesGovernment policyNatural resourcesManagementCitizen participation.EthnoscienceTraditional ecological knowledge333.709 549 6Ojha Hemant R.International Development Research Centre (Canada),UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910778364603321Knowledge systems and natural resources3678735UNINA
