Transaction costs of community‐based forest management: empirical evidence from Tanzania (2006, background): “For example, it may be a means for government to retain control over a natural resource whilst transferring management costs to local communities, or elites may gain most of the benefits (Songorwa, 1999; Campbell et al., 2001).”
Mobility in pastoral systems: Dynamic flux or downward trend? (2006, background): “With the loss of local institutions, the local practices that promote sustainability cease to be carried out and degradation often results (Draz 1990; Niamir-Fuller 1998; Humphrey and Sneath 1999; Smith and Wishnie 2000; Campbell et al. 2001).”
Community Driven Development, Collective Action and Elite Capture in Indonesia (2007, background): “…collective action: social and economic heterogeneity, group size, the existence of non-linear relations and the mediating role played by institutions (Agrawal, 2000; Agrawal and Gibson, 1999; Baland and Platteau, 1996; Campbell et al., 2001; Poteete and Ostrom, 2004; Quiggin, 1993; Vedeld, 2000).”
The forbidden fuel: Charcoal, urban woodfuel demand and supply dynamics, community forest management and woodfuel policy in Malawi (2010, unknown): “CBFM faces significant challenges in Malawi (Blaikie, 2006; Jere et al., 2000; Kayambazinthu and Locke, 2002; Zulu, 2008, 2009a) and elsewhere (e.g., Campbell et al., 2001; Shackleton et al., 2002), but lessons have also been learnt to improve it (e.g., Lund and Treue, 2008).”
An Introduction to Sustainable Development (2014, background): “In recent years, substantial optimism has been expressed concerning ‘Community Based Natural Resource Management’ (CBNRM) initiatives (Campbell et al., 2001).”
In pursuit of comparable concepts and data about collective action (2004, unknown): “4 See Campbell et al. (2001) and Turner (1999) for critiques of community-based programmes for”
The effects of tourism development on rural livelihoods in the Okavango Delta, Botswana (2010, background): “Campbell et al. (2001) allege that much of the literature on CBNRM is falsely optimistic and high expectations have not been achieved; as a result, southern African villages are largely not benefiting from CBNRM. Lawry (1994) argues that the devolution of rights to communities is insufficient…”

Poverty, property rights and collective action: understanding the distributive aspects of common property resource management (2005, background): “Mixed results have been observed on the potential of CPR systems to have a positive impact on the livelihood of the very poor and marginalized sections of communities (Campbell et al., 2001; Beck and Nesmith, 2001).”
Charcoal, livelihoods, and poverty reduction: Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa (2013, background): “Many more studies illustrate the formidable challenges in making CBFM successful (e.g., Campbell et al., 2001; Pagdee et al., 2006; Poteete and Ostrom, 2008; Zulu, 2006, 2008).”
Successes in African agriculture: Results of an expert survey (2004, background): “Clearly, standard problems of competing interests, externalities and temptations to free riders impede participation in many instances (Campbell et al., 2001; Gaspart et al., 1998).”
Against the local trap: scale and the study of environment and development (2005, background): “Campbell et al. (2001) conclude their detailed study of CPRs in Zimbabwe with the contention that the ‘choice of how resources can be used should lie with local communities, rather than with Acts [made by national-state lawmakers]’.”
