Neglected Transportation Infrastructure: Corporate Social Responsibility and the Russian State in a Small Siberian Oil Town
Verkhnemarkovo, a small Siberian town located on an oil field in Russia’s Irkutsk region, is plagued by bad roads and limited mobility. This article explores the relationship between corporate social responsibility and the wellbeing of individuals and communities, with a focus on transport and mobility infrastructure. Some oil companies, such as Irkutsk Oil Company, are tied to the sustainability standards of international financial institutions.…
Women's Work in a Communal Setting: The Tanzanian Policy of Ujamaa
This chapter focuses on the agricultural part of women's work because it is the most directly connected with ujamaa. The policy of ujamaa has seemed to provide a vehicle through which women could both improve their agricultural productivity and control the fruits of their labor. Ujamaa is a Swahili word meaning "familyhood." Ujamaa as a policy has two components—the creation of nucleated settlements of people and the practice of communal agricult…
Où sont passé·e·s les coauteurs·trices: Les pratiques d’autorat dans la recherche participative
Longtemps marginale, la recherche participative est devenue une approche de plus en plus répandue dans les sciences sociales, biophysiques et les études interdisciplinaires. L'augmentation générale du nombre de publications tirées d'une recherche participative a soulevé la question de la reconnaissance des contributions de collaborateurs et collaboratrices non universitaires. Au moyen de méthodes qualitatives et quantitatives, nous avons analysé …
Where Are the Missing Coauthors? Authorship Practices in Participatory Research
Originally marginal, participatory research has become an increasingly important methodology in the social, biophysical, and interdisciplinary sciences. The overall increase in publications based on participatory research has raised questions about crediting the contributions of nonacademic collaborators. Through interviews with lead authors of coauthored articles, we analyzed factors that shaped whether authorship was shared with nonacademic col…

Whose landscape? A political ecology of the 'exurban' Sierra
In rural places that sit at the uneasy crossroads between 'traditional' natural resource-based production and 'new' economies and cultures of aesthetic landscape 'consumption', ideas of landscape become increasingly important and contested. This paper examines one such conflict in Nevada County, California - a former mining and ranching community in the Sierra Nevada that has experienced rapid 'exurban' in-migration and gentrification. In-migrant…

Voices from communities managing wildlife in Southern Africa
Fruits of Their Labors: Gender, Property Rights, and Tree Planting in Two Zimbabwe Villages1
An analysis of tree planting by women and men in two Zimbabwe villages demonstrates that women are significantly less likely than men to plant trees on homestead land where the security of their duration of tenure is uncertain due to the likelihood of change in marital status. However, men and women are equally likely to plant trees in community woodlots where the duration of their tenure is secure if they remain village residents. These findings…
Bonanza! The unasked questions: Domestic land tenure through international lenses
The lens of U.S. popular culture provided by country and western music and horror films reveals an understanding of property in the United States as complex, contested, and fluid. International scholarship has analyzed property in similar terms. U.S. property relationships are explored here through application of six themes found in the international literature: (1) property as social process, (2) customary tenures, (3) common property and commun…

The rock, the beach, and the tidal pool: People and poverty in natural resource‐dependent areas
Explaining why poverty exists in natural resource‐dependent areas (NRDAs) presents a formidable challenge, given variability in the nature, spatial manifestations, and social character of human well‐being. Nonetheless, there are structures and processes unique to NRDAs, including resource degradation, increasingly restrictive public land use policies, concentrated land ownership, and high rates of occupational injury that create the potential for…
Commentary: Testimony at the white house forest conference
On Really Existing Communities - Organic or Otherwise
The good news is that Telos has moved beyond critique towards a positive program for federalism and communities, or what Paul Piccone calls "federal populism." While the model of federal populism seems to have shifted from the European Community to the Lombard League, this focus on examples of federalized communities is to be encouraged. The bad news is that Telos has not subjected "federalism" and "communities" to the same thorough-going critiqu…
Tenures in Transition, Tenures in Conflict: Examples from the Zimbabwe Social Forest1
The landscapes of rural communities are commonly divided into areas in which distinctive resource uses are practiced and for which there exist particular types of property rights. Such tenure niches for different resources may overlap where those resources themselves occupy the same space (e.g., land and trees). Further, competing legal and utilization systems (e.g., national and local) may place the same resource in different incompatible tenure…

New Voices, Old Beliefs: Forest Environmentalism Among New and Long-Standing Rural Residents1
In the on-going sociological debate over rural-urban differences, rural conflict over natural resources is often attributed to environmental attitudes of new residents from urban areas. An alternative hypothesis is that new residents provide not new attitudes, but a new voice for attitudes already held by many local residents. Data from a survey of residents of communities near two national forests show little support for the hypothesis that resi…
The effects of nonmetropolitan population growth on resource management
Studies of nonmetropolitan growth have neglected the effect of changes in the nature of new residents and land‐holding size on individual resource management. This study of management of a resource‐at‐risk shows that deleterious resource management does not follow automatically in the wake of population growth. There is no difference in likelihood of new and long‐standing residents to manage resources, although they probably manage for different …

Great planting disasters: Pitfalls in technical assistance in forestry
Seasonal dimensions of rural social organisation
The functioning of rural social organisation is affected by seasonality. The nature of this effect depends on the degree to which the organisation is related to the agricultural production cycle and the degree to which it has access to outside resources such as funds or personnel. Organisations can be characterised as continuous, seasonally fluctuating continuous, seasonally‐functional, or episodic depending on the strength of seasonal effects
