From Forests and Fields to Coffee and Back Again
Studies of coffee agroecosystems have focused on their role in providing habitat for biodiversity across a range of management intensities. These studies have not taken into account the temporal and spatial transformations in coffee landscapes and their impacts on structural heterogeneity and biodiversity, nor systematically linked these transformations to farmer management responses to price and policy shocks. We utilize a coupled natural–human …

Key factors which influence the success of community forestry in developing countries
Participatory Restoration of Degraded Agricultural Areas Invaded by Bracken Fern (Pteridium aquilinum) and Conservation in the Chinantla Region, Oaxaca, Mexico
When the State Supplies the Commons
This paper analyzes Mexico's state-directed common property system from the point of view of Elinor Ostrom's design principles, her ideas of levels of institutional choice (constitutional, collective, and operational) and the issue of both origins and changes in institutional supply. The historical evolution of common property institutions, with special reference to forest management communities suggests that the Mexican case requires an extensio…
Beyond harvests in the commons
Some important elements of common property theory include a focus on individual communities or user groups, local level adjudication of conflicts, local autonomy in rule making, physical harvests, and low levels of articulation with markets. We present a case study of multi-scale collective action around indigenous/community conserved areas (ICCAs) in Oaxaca, Mexico that suggests a modification of these components of common property theory. A mul…

The Making of the State Enterprise System in Modern China
Building 'Community
Under the planned economy China's urban population was largely immobile and governed through the socialist workunit (danwei). Market reforms begun in the 1980s have culminated in the last decade with a dramatic decline of the state-sector and the emergence of a more mobile, heterogeneous and economically independent urban population. In rendering the old system obsolete, these trends have led the Chinese government to rethink its strategies for u…
Social Space and Governance in Urban China
Centered on the urban workplace, the danwei (workunit) has been the fundamental social and spatial unit of urban China under socialism. Not only was it the source of employment, wages, and other material benefits for the vast majority of urban residents, it was also the institution through which the urban population was housed, organized, regulated, policed, educated, trained, protected, and surveyed. Furthermore, as the basic unit of urban socie…
Deforestation, Forest Transitions, and Institutions for Sustainability in Southeastern Mexico, 1900-2000
Research on tropical forest cover change processes identifies myriad driving forces and demonstrates how change dynamics are non-linear and complex. Despite appreciation in the academic literature for the historical patterns and processes of deforestation, however, a simplistic, linear 'deforestation narrative' persists in the popular imagination. Concern arises when this narrative influences environmental policy and effective response to the tro…

Mexico's Community‐Managed Forests as a Global Model for Sustainable Landscapes
Researchers concerned with sustainable management of forests in the tropics have argued that the road to improved stewardship of forest resources is the transfer of responsibility to the local communities who get their livelihoods from them. On the other hand, conservationists have declared that the only way to stem the tide of deforestation is to place as many tracts as possible under strict protection. In this context, Mexico presents a nationa…
Social Dimensions of Organic Coffee Production in Mexico
Significant attention has been given to the relationship between small coffee farms and biodiversity in recent years. This article argues that the interest in “birdfriendly” coffees and other forms of biodiversity marketing have much to learn from the 15-year development of another relatively successful, environmentally friendly coffee product: certified organic coffee. This Mexican case study argues that organic coffee emerged as a result of a s…
Defiance' and the Search for Sustainable Small Farmer Organizations
Social scientists working on Latin American social movements have commonly focused on the most dramatic manifestations of agrarian discontent. There is a conspicuous lack of research on a new kind of rural social movement, small farmer organizations, which are frequently in alliance with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the attempt to build a more sustainable social movement. They do so by experimenting with their own productive alternati…
Economic Development
The Dominican Republic is classified as one of a group of Latin American and Caribbean countries whose international migratory flows appear to be primarily composed of the urban middle class, rather than the rural poor. It is argued that Dominican middle class international migration has emerged as a partial solution to a political economic crisis that was dramatized by the April Revolution of 1965 and deepened through the 1970s with the failure …
