Learning in the Field
State devolution has combined with social movement pressures to give communities increasing access and rights to southern forests, making development of effective local participation in sustainable resource management crucial. This paper discusses an experience of participatory research in Central America, which sought to help two grassroots forest organizations, the Association of Forest Communities of Petén, Guatemala and the Farmer to Farmer P…
Conservation, community, and culture? New organizational challenges of community forest concessions in the Maya Biosphere Reserve of Guatemala
Keeping trade fair
Fair trade has gained attention as an innovative market‐based mechanism for addressing social and environmental problems exacerbated by conventional global markets. Yet such initiatives are also regulatory mechanisms that establish voluntary alternative arrangements for governing production, commercialization and consumption of global commodities. Based on a recent study of fair trade coffee experiences in Latin America, this paper explores the c…
A Fair Trade approach to community forest certification? A framework for discussion
Fair trade coffee
This article examines the ongoing rapid expansion in Fair Trade coffee networks linking Northern consumers with producers in the global South. We provide a comparative analysis of the experiences of seven coffee producer co‐operatives in Latin America, identifying the characteristics which facilitate successful integration into Fair Trade networks. Our analysis finds that coffee organizations, communities and producers derive important material a…

Reorganization or Division? New Strategies of Community Forestry in Durango, Mexico
This article examines recent agrarian reforms' impact on Mexican community forestry, a common pool resource regime linking peasants' social and economic interests with conservation. It analyzes two agrarian communities that established smaller organizational units and explores peasants' creative responses to neoliberal restructuring, issues posed by new forms of governing collective resources and changing relationships between forestry and commun…

Producing More with Less? Community Forestry in Durango, Mexico in an Era of Trade Liberalization
Through a qualitative case study of peasant-organized forestry in Durango, Mexico, this paper examines how neoliberal policy reform is reshaping the community forestry sector. Post-1992 agrarian and forestry laws facilitate the emergence of new forms of association in ejidos (collective property communities created by agrarian reform) and agrarian communities, and reorganize the delivery of forestry technical services. These developments indirect…
Qualitative Cowboy or Qualitative Dude
Sociological theorists' recent critique of foundationalism, the notion that observers can accurately represent a single, objective reality, has led to calls for sociology to abandon its claim to epistemic privilege. A related debate has ensued among qualitative sociologists over ethnography's claim to produce objective, authoritative accounts of field realities. This debate over 'the crisis of representation' has apparently reached an epistemolog…
