Environmental entitlements study (1996–97)

This joint project with the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) at Sussex University developed an innovative conceptual framework (‘environmental entitlements’) for understanding how local institutions mediate access to and control over natural resources, and how patterns of ecological change interact with social processes within highly differentiated communities as well as with macro-level institutional dynamics. Field research was carried out in Mkambati in the Eastern Cape. Research report no. 1
